Hi all,

not good news, my daughter attends the American college of Sofia and today the school closed due to no gas until further notice, Sofia relies on town gas and many people have in alternate way to heat and cook. Borovets and Bansko will also have problems, i advise you check before leaving. The only good news is that there is no town gas in Pamporovo and 90% of development runs on alternate fuel. Many Hospitals in sofia and Plovdiv are suffering as it is minus 10 and they have no heat, patients are suffering please say a prayer that lives are not lost, i have just heard the most schools in Plovdiv and Sofia are closed, i am so concerned about. The news just stated that electric in Bulgaria will be switched of for a few hours daily due to the problem of no gas it is draining the electric resources.

Regards

Amanda

re: GAS CRISIS

thanks for your report. I would appreciate being kept updated.
We going to Bansko on the 17th Jan?
What are we likely to find, we have three small kids!
will it mean the gondala and chair lifts are all shut??
Hope not, we've been looking forward to this all year. Lets keep all our fingers and toes crossed that it gets sorted!!
I feel for the poor people that live there, hopeing and praying it gets sorted for us all.

re: GAS CRISIS

Whilst The Ukraine and Russia disagree Bulgaria has declared an emergency situation, Bulgaria is being held hostage where the main gas supply is concerned and innocent people are suffering.

Hi

Sorry don't know how to hypalink the above but it basically says that talks were held last night and that although no outcome has been published, they expect it to be sorted by the end of the week. If nothing has been sorted by the end of the week then they can see substantial EU intervention as other countries are suffering as a concequence of the feud between Russia and the Ukraine.

Fingers crossed.

I have posted this on the other Gas posts. Hope this helps.
