Wind in the branches, birdsong, raindrops and cracking glass from broken windows – this is what Bulgaria’s ghost villages sound like. In the region around Tryavna, a small town in the Balkan Range, there are some 100 old villages and neighbourhoods with a total population of around 1,000. In some there are 1 or 2 people living, others have been abandoned a long time ago, their run-down houses grown over by briars and weeds as if straight out of a Brothers Grimm story. But one musician decided to record the breath of the lost villages and to turn it into… music, bringing the past back to life.

In the years when I was a frequent face in Bulgaria, the wine region I liked most was Melnik in the south-west of the country, just north of the Greek border at Fort Roupel. It was the hottest region in Bulgaria and centred on the Struma Valley. Surrounded by steep mountains, the hillside vineyards were unsuitable for the collective
kolkhoz treatment meted out on the plains south of the Balkan Range, where quantity had triumphed over quality. The eponymous broad-leaved Melnik cultivar was interesting, not least because it was not one of the international “Mac” varieties favoured in many places elsewhere. There was also a variation in the “Melnik 55”, a hybrid grape created in 1963, which had an advantage over its parent for being an early-ripener.

December 11 (BTA) - Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ekaterina Zaharieva on Friday welcomed a decision by the Board of Directors of the US International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) to contribute 300 million dollars to the Three Seas Initiative Investment Fund. The DFC Board meeting was chaired by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who is a Board member. The Three Seas Initiative is a forum of 12 EU member states in Central and Eastern Europe (including Bulgaria) for promoting regional dialogue on various matters. The focus is on the development of infrastructure in the energy, transport and digital sectors. In a press release on Thursday, DFC said its 300 million dollar investment in the Three Seas Initiative Investment Fund aims to help Central and Eastern European countries bolster their energy security.
