Actually, I have to correct my rather 'well lubricated' thoughts of the other evening - and apologies for my somewhat direct tone at that time - one of my friends who works with Balkanstroy says that they have resubmitted the Kulinoto application to prime minister Stanishev (presumably with a large bundle of cash) to try and get him to sign it off before the elections and he feels positive that Stanishev will do so.

This is a reasonably common practice at both municipal and national elections - the outgoing lot take bribes to sign off on any manner of permits in an orgy of corruption before they leave office. The new lot then have to decide whether to undo everything or leave it as it is - with a little 'encouragement' they usually do the latter. This is particularly common on the Black Sea coast.
Anyway, permit or not, I couldn't see the economic case of building any more apartments in Razlog (or indeed Dobrinishte), but maybe Balkanstroy know something I don't. The business case for the development of new ski pistes is entirely dependent on the sale of associated infrastructure - which would seem a dead duck in the current environment.

Hey Mat, we are all entitled to our opinions of others , if you felt i was `full of s**t' so be it 
I had read of the rejection of the plans for Kulinoto months ago, but had also heard of the re-submission, pending either the re-election of the existing goverment or the introduction of the new one. At least i can take that as read as it seems this was in the area of what you have heard also.
I totally agree with your views on the economic case, it would be financial suicide to build at ...

I totally agree with your views on the economic case, it would be financial suicide to build at the moment, and that would reflect on any resort expansion...
Anyway, at least the original poster is a little more aware now, surely the main reason for a forum ??
