Three anglers caught a giant catfish in Dyakovo dam near Dupnitsa
The fish could well enter the Guinness book of records
The men who caught the fish – all three named Mario – Mario Hristov
Mario Spasov and Mario Danailov – say the fight with the fish was long and hard
“Our hands were trembling and we were getting tired
We had to take turns every 20-30 minutes until we were able to tire it out and pull it in,” they say
“We wanted to throw the animal back into the water but there was so much euphoria
It was traumatized and we were unable to save it,” the anglers said

The 2023 FAI F5J World Championships for Electric Powered Thermal Duration Gliders has kicked off in Bulgaria with over 100 pilots from all four corners of the world
One hundred and fourteen competitors have travelled with their aircraft - whose wingspans measure up to four metres – to Dupnitsa
from 31 countries as far afield as Argentina
The competition runs from 13-19 August and has two parts: one for Seniors with 88 competitors and one for Juniors with 26 competitors
In both events there is a good number of females participating
which is positive in terms of approaching the International Olympic Committee recommendations. Senior teams consist of a manager and assistant plus three senior competitors and one female competitor
Among the participating pilots are Arijan Hucaljuk (CRO) and Joe Wurts (NZL) who were recently been announced for the new FAI Aeromodelling Commission (CIAM) Legends medal
The four flying days will run between 09:00 to 18:00 from 14-18 August, with the prize giving ceremony and banquet on 19 August. The event is being organised by the Bulgarian Aeromodelling Federation and Modelclub Ikar and the airfield recently hosted the F5J Bulgaria Cup in May 2023
Antonis Papadopoulos, jury member and FAI Aeromodelling Commission (CIAM) President said: “Congratulations to the organisers for this well-prepared FAI event
at CIAM we are pleased to see an excellent turnout for this competition
especially with the numerous junior and female participants
It is going to be a busy competition with preliminary and final rounds taking place all week
We expect to have a variety of weather conditions
which presents a challenge for all the competitors
The Opening Ceremony took place on 13 August at Main Square of the Dupnitsa City close to the City Hall. The ceremony commenced with a parade with all the national teams
and was followed by short speeches from the officials
Andras Ree who declared the competition open
The festivities continued with a local dance show adding to the welcoming atmosphere.
In the morning the model registration process took place in Dupnitsa's sports hall
The F5J aircraft have a radio control with electric motor and AMRT (Altimetre/Motor Run Timer)
The gliders have a maximum wingspan of 4 metres
max surface area of 150 dm2 and a flying mass up to 5kg
although most are no more than 1.5 kg and sometimes even lighter
then aims to find columns of rising air (thermals) to give a longer flight duration
Each pilot must launch and land from their particular spot
Also vital for successful F5J flying is being able to sense the thermals and air currents that give lift to the aircraft and having the experience to work out a suitable strategy to maintain the aircraft aloft

Notorious Bulgarian mobsters Plamen Galev and Angel Hristov known as "the Galevi brothers" are likely hiding in Bulgaria
since nobody is searching for them," Dangov has pointed out in an interview for TV7
Dangov has noted that numerous political parties have relied on the two high-profile mobsters to secure them election victories in Dupnitsa
The notorious pair was sentenced by Bulgaria's Supreme Court to serve five years in jail at the beginning of May on racketeering charges
A few days later the two underground bosses vanished and were declared wanted by the local authorities and Interpol or at least this is what Bulgaria's Interior Ministry claims
Meanwhile the two crime bosses were charged with money laundering
Previous reports said the Galevi brothers entered Greece with fake passports
and flew to South Africa and the Seychelles
Even before the court trial it was a public secret that the Galevi brothers are mafia bosses who hold the citizens of Dupnitsa on a leash as their jobs and prosperity depend on the two burly former policemen with shady background and businesses
A recent journalistic investigation has ranked the Bulgarian mafia among the top 10 organized crime syndicates operating in Greece

The construction of Bulgaria’s largest solar power plant is due to be completed by spring 2023
The facility will generate green electricity with a peak capacity of 124 MW
As of late November, there was an overall 1.03 GW in active photovoltaic facilities in the country, according to a statement from the contractor, Sunotec, which cited data from an unofficial renewables registry.
It means the project that is underway is set to add up to 12% to Bulgaria’s installed solar power capacity. The investor, Eurohold, bought ČEZ’s assets in the country in 2019
It said its employees started the works on the ground-mounted PV facility in September
The location is in the Verila mountain range near Dupnitsa (Dupnica)
Sunotec stressed that the nature of the terrain is the greatest challenge
procurement and construction of the facility with 220,230 modules
Lower temperatures contribute to solar power output
“The location of the solar power plant at an altitude between 700 and 1,000 meters above sea level
is one of the most adventurous and unique in Europe
The lower temperatures caused by the high altitude contribute to the generation of additional power
this also means that we have to adapt the machinery as well as the sequence of implementation to the challenging topography of the site,” said Sunotec’s Country Manager Valentin Gospodinov
The project is one of seven that Sunotec is currently implementing in Bulgaria
in the vicinity of the village of Kraynitsi
The investment is worth more than EUR 100 million
the Municipal Council of Dupnitsa agreed to sign a preliminary contract with Verila Solar Park 2 for a photovoltaic plant on a 236-hectare site on Kraynitsi territory
Eurohold said it would install 50 MW and that the project is scheduled to be completed in 2024
It added that it is building two electricity substations and that they would be donated to the country’s Electricity System Operator (ESO)
chief of the municipal parliament’s economic commission
stressed that the two substations are worth a combined EUR 11.7 million
He estimated that the investor’s donations to the municipality through infrastructure would be worth EUR 102,000
According to the International Renewable Energy Agency, Bulgaria had 1.2 GW in solar power capacity at the end of last year.

The Kuystendil District Court resumed Monday the trial against the notorious Galevi brothers
Judge Miroslav Nachev announced that the proceedings will not be opened for the media per the request of the Galevi defense team over evidence collected through special surveillance devices
The Judge told the defendants that they can select one representative each to remain in the courtroom
28 witnesses are scheduled to take the witness stand Monday
have been investigated over a long period of time for various crimes in the southwest town of Dupnitsa
most notably racketeering and organized crime
the Galevi brothers walked out of jail after both were allowed to run for parliamentary seats and thus receiving immunity from prosecution
They failed to win seats in the 41st General Assembly
Bulgaria's Supreme Court of Cassations ruled on July 16 that the Galevi trial is within the authority of the Kyustendil District Court
The magistrates based their decision on the fact the alleged criminal acts have been executed in the area that is under the jurisdiction of the Kyustendil Court
The representative of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office of Cassations argued that the Kyustendil Court was not competent to try the case and stated considerations of why it should be assigned to the Sofia's City Court
mainly to assure a fair and objective rule
Part of the charges include accusations that Galevi had racketeered cab drivers and bar owners in their town asking them to pay them cash in exchange for protection
The main witness against Galevi is Plamen Milanov
who claims the two have racketeered him to give them money each month
Milanov told the media several times already that he was afraid of Galevi and is not optimistic about the trial's outcome
It has been 15 days since 17-year-old Ivana from Dupnitsa went missing
The search for 17-year-old Ivana Georgieva from Dupnitsa has entered its 14th day
with police officers continuing their efforts to locate the missing girl
Interpol-wanted convicted mobsters Angel Hristov and Plamen Galev
have laundered millions of dollars in the English Channel
a British Crown dependency in the English Channel off the coast of Normandy
is a hot spot for criminals all over the world
as local laws make it very difficult to prove the offence
The Bulgarian authorities are reportedly hunting down for the pair
failed MP wannabes and benefactors of Dupnitsa
They have managed to capitalize on the weakness of the state and the local authorities
merging with them and making out of Dupnitsa a stronghold of their own
The process of introducing euro-based municipal services and tax designations in Bulgaria's Kyustendil region has sparked varying reactions
The National Revenue Agency (NRA) has reminded companies that they are eligible for a 20% discount on fines if they pay within 14 days of receiving a fine
Interpol has issued a Red Notice for the arrest of notorious Bulgarian gangsters Angel Hristov and Plamen Galev aka the "Galevi brothers"
The underworld bosses were declared wanted for "organized crime/transnational crime" at the request of the Bulgarian authorities
Angel Hristov and Plamen Galev aka the "Galevi brothers" disappeared at the beginning of May after the Bulgarian Supreme Court of Cassation finally confirmed their organized crime sentences
The two were supposed to be sent to jail for 5 and 4 years respectively
Galev and Hristov were issued a nationwide search warrant amidst reports they fled abroad with a huge stash of money and strong criticism on the part of the European Commission
The search of the Bulgarian authorities ended up with no result
while in the meantime the executive and judiciary exchanged accusations for the blunder of letting the two mobsters get away
The pair is well known to be top mafia lords
impoverished and dilapidated Bulgarian town at the foot of the Rila mountain
Bulgaria's Supreme Court of Cassations upheld Galevi's jail sentences issued by a lower instance
reduced Galev's sentence by two years and Hristov's by one on grounds they have clean criminal records and are known for charitable activities
Galev will thus serve 5 years behind bars while Hristov will be in jail for 4 years
both on charges of participating in an organized crime group dealing with racket and extortion
the Sofia Appellate Court surprisingly reversed the trial against Galevi
sentencing them to a total of 12 years in jail - Plamen Galev to 7 years in prison
Galev was sentenced to a fine of BGN 10 000 and confiscation of 1/3 of his properties and assets
and confiscation of 1/4 of his properties and assets for the benefit of the state
The two were appealing the sentence with the Supreme Court of Cassations
the Regional Court in the southwestern city of Kyustendil acquitted them of all charges – including heading an organized crime group
and extortion on the grounds that they were tried on rumors
Four other men were also sentenced as members of the organized crime group led by Galevi
came in the wake of a large-scale and flashy raid by what appeared to be the state army
auto-houses and apartments in the capital Sofia
the Galevi brothers walked out of jail after both were allowed to run at the general elections and thus receiving immunity from prosecution
Interpol has issued an international arrest warrant for Milorad Dodik
Two security guards of Bulgaria’s notorious Galevi Brothers are alleged to have severely beaten a policeman from the southern city of Blagoevgrad Friday night
The incident happened at a night club in the city when the police employee had tried to break a fight between patrons and had been thrashed in the melee
The 30-year-old policeman is listed in a Sofia hospital with a broken jaw
A police patrol had been immediately dispatched to the bar and managed to stop the fight
The perpetrators are identified by the Blagoevgrad police as U
No other people have been injured in the fight
the two perpetrators are employed as security guards for Plamen Hristov and Angel Galev aka the Galevi Brothers
The Interior had neither denied or confirmed the information
Plamen Galev and Angel Hristov have been investigated over a long period of time for various crimes in Dupnitsa
They are currently on trial for racketeering and organized crime
Many witnesses in the case have already testified saying the Galevi security guards have threatened them at gunpoint
told Darik radio he has nothing to do with the Blagoevgrad fight and does not know any of the people involved
The participation of Plamen Galev and Angel Hristov in the summer elections highlighted the weakness of the country's judicial system
one of the two men known as the Galevi brothers
commonly referred to as “Galevi Brothers” despite that they are not of kin
running and participating in a crime group engaged in racketeering and extortion
Angel Hristov was sentenced to five years of imprisonment and Plamen Galev was sentenced to seven
The sentences have been never served as the two managed to escape justice and went missing
In 2012, Angel Hristov and Plamen Galev were circulated as wanted on an Interpol Red Notice
it became clear that the body of Angel Hristov was found in a funeral agency
but it is still unknown where his death occurred
The death certificate was issued in the town of Dupnitsa
but the private hospital there denied that Angel Hristov was admitted
The caretaker Minister of Interior said the only way for Hristov to enter the country was by land
The mystery surrounding the re-entry into the country and the death of Angel Hristov of the Galevi Brothers is unraveling
Where his death occurred is the key question from today that has not been clearly answered
officials of the Dupnitsa municipality claim that the announcement of the death of one of the Galevi brothers was issued by a private hospital in the town
the hospital denies that he was admitted there
a blocked coronary artery was the cause of Angel Hristov's death
The time of the death coincides with the claims of the relatives
The mystery entangles around how the funeral of the man wanted by Interpol was prepared
BNT has learned from sources that Angel Hristov's body was found on the premises of a funeral agency
The police received a signal about his death on Saturday afternoon
it was found that there were death documents issued for Angel Hristov
and the body was seized and sent for autopsy
According to the official announcement of the Ministry of Interior
the signal was that the 53-year-old man had died at his home in the village of Resilovo
but according to claims by municipal officials
the documentation shows that he died in a medical facility
emergency medics from Dupnitsa received a call from the police around one o'clock in the morning
It concerned the pick-up of Hristov's body from the area of the cemetery park in Dupnitsa
BNT contacted the funeral services company hired to arrange Hristov's still pending funeral
They refused to comment in front of the camera
but explained that they only realised that it was one of the Galevi brothers after the police intervened
8.00 am was recorded as the date and time in Angel Hristov's death certificate
The document was issued after an expired identity card and death notice were provided
Ivan Rilski 2003" hospital that the death occurred at the hospital," explained Galina Palcheva
the official who issued the death certificate
She claims that the procedure was carried out as in every death case and she did not get the impression that someone was in a hurry to finish
She noticed a discrepancy in the names of the documents submitted
"The person's name was wrong and I returned the message asking to get the person's details corrected at the hospital
The hospital had got confused that his name was Angel Hristov Hristov," Galina Palcheva said
"The GRAO (Civil Registration and Administrative Services General Directorate) has no data on whether a person is circulated as wanted on an Interpol red notice," said Dragostina Kovačka
denied having admitted a patient with that name
The police also officially confirmed that a death notice had been issued by a doctor from a hospital in Dupnitsa
the name of the hospital and the person who put the signature on the document were not reported
another question continues to remain unanswered - how Angel Hristov entered the country
"The only possibility is that he came to Bulgaria through land border
There are two ways - either under relaxed checks or to cross the border illegally
which is the second option," caretaker Minister of Interior
it is possible that Hristov entered the country with forged documents
One version is that he returned to Bulgaria for family reasons
it is possible to have done so with a changed appearance
He has not been in Bulgaria for many years and he may have arrived with forged documents," said Krasimir Zanev
former director of the Ministry of Interior’s “Wanted Persons” department
"We are checking all addresses related to the Galevi brothers
and any physical evidence to see if the other one (Plamen Galev) is on Bulgarian territory," the minister said
They have probably been ‘testing the water’ here
because Angel Hristov has the shorter sentence
and they were probably trying to see how the relevant authorities would react if he comes home," said Krassimir Zanev
"The first question is how he got out of the country originally
I don't know why we are ignoring this question because the “chairman of the committee on his passage out of the country” in 2012 was the then Prime Minister Boyko Borissov," Rumen Petkov
There are many versions about how Angel Hristov returned to Bulgaria
but what’s the truth - the ball is in the investigators' court
commonly referred to as “Galevi Brothers”
were former officials of the Ministry of Interior
they used to work for the Specialised Counter-Terrorism Squad and the National Service for Combating Organised Crime
They left the police in 1998 and set up a number of businesses
Galevi Brothers were widely considered as the most successful businessmen in Dupnitsa
with a lot of influence and control over the economic and political life of the town
but their participation in the campaign resulted in temporary suspension of proceedings against them because as MP nominees they enjoyed immunity from prosecution during parliamentary elections campaign
charged with the crimes they were later convicted of
Plamen Galev and Angel Hristov were charged with setting up an organised crime group involved in racketeering and extortion
the district court in Kyustendil acquitted them
but that decision was later (in 2011) reversed by Sofia Appellate Court and they were found guilty and sentenced
the Supreme Court of Cassation upheld that decision
they fled the country before serving their sentences
The construction of the Rila highway in Bulgaria
about which various successive governments have been talking for years
stated this during an event called "Cities - a meeting with the businesses of the Sofia region"
the realization of the project will have a huge impact on the Sofia region
This will be the transformational project for the region because it will improve the movement of people and goods," said Tsekov
funds have been set aside for updating the conceptual project
a detailed layout plan and other design activities
environmental procedures and a technical design will be performed
We remind you that the construction of the Rila highway will make it possible to unite the three existing Bulgarian highways - Struma
and the idea for its creation dates back more than 20 years
the Balkan Transport and Infrastructure Forum stated that the planned highway would actually extend to 140 km
even then it was estimated to cost almost EUR 500 million - now that amount would be significantly larger
the Bulgarian Road Infrastructure Agency (API) launched a tender for the design of a Gyueshevo – Dupnitsa highway and thus took the first real steps towards the realization of the project
The 62-kilometre road stretch in question would form part of the somewhat forgotten Rila highway project
The initial idea of the regional development ministry was for the section to be a high-speed expressway
API studied the conceptual proposal designs submitted for the tender
the price tags of said proposals were only revealed on 16 March 2023 – that is 7 months later
The beneficiary was picked on 3 July of this year
Via - Plan EOOD was chosen with a price offer of about EUR 1 million
The deadline for developing the conceptual project is 150 calendar days from the date of conclusion of the contract and includes only the design time
according to information in the Public Procurement Register
the chairman of the Forum for Balkan Transport and Infrastructure
commented that API should now design the entire road and not just 62 kilometres of it
API launched a tender for a road safety impact assessment of the Rila highway and a cost-benefit analysis for its construction
Some of the main characteristics of the highway are also listed in the documentation attached to the tender
The road will be 89 km long and will pass through the territories of Sofia and Kyustendil regions
The project previews the construction of 54 large auxiliary facilities
4 tunnels with a total length of 1600 m and 9 road junctions
the differing accounts on the highway’s planned length come from the fact that it will be divided into two lots: Gyueshevo (border checkpoint with North Macedonia) - Dupnitsa and Dupnitsa - Trakia highway
The technical specifications state that the road will be built as an expressway with a designated speed limit of 120 km/h - A25.5 gauge
There is an exception only for a small section
which will be A29 gauge (motorway) - between the Samokov and Bogoriditsa junctions

The first photovoltaic microsystem on a balcony is already a fact in Bulgaria
It is implemented under the Sunrise project – Households producing household energy from the sun with the support of Habitat Bulgaria and the municipality of Dupnitsa
The goal is for households living in social poverty
Another advantage is environmental protection
The practice of placing solar panels on residential balconies is now firmly established in Germany
the first installation was installed precisely by German experts from the German Solar Energy Society (DGS)
the number of installed photovoltaic micro systems will reach 1 million units
Each panel has a power of nearly 450 watts
as well as vertically on the facade of residential blocks
„The main advantage of the panels in question is that a person can install them himself

This is a small photovoltaic installation that is placed on the terrace
It consists of several solar panels (usually two) that transform sunlight into direct current energy
The energy inverter turns direct current into alternating current
from where it enters the energy network of the home itself and the household begins to consume electricity from the photovoltaic system
the law allows one electricity meter (one dwelling) to install one system with a power that does not exceed 800 watts
The goal for the cap is to produce roughly as much electricity as a household consumes
the system also allows the attachment of a battery to save the energy accumulated by the sun and be consumed
„Initially in Germany we called these photovoltaic systems „guerrilla”
The reason is that there was no established legal framework and corresponding forms for registering this type of installations
the systems were used to stimulate the responsible institutions to adapt the legislation so that people could use cheap energy,“ explains Johan
Using the system is the first step on the way to a climate neutral household and the transition from carbon fuels to renewable clean energies
The system contributes to the transition from fossil fuels to clean energy sources
as an inhabitant of the particular building
may not have your own roof and may not have enough space to make such a system
you can produce clean energy,” adds Johan
the system helps to reduce and overcome energy poverty by saving household costs
„This type of system cannot replace large photovoltaic and wind installations
They are only for use in the respective household”
the first photovoltaic system on a balcony was installed in a municipal housing in Dupnitsa
The reason for this is primarily the lack of a legal framework and the still unregulated legal path
it is easy to install such systems on private houses
but this is not the case for multi-family residential buildings
who decides to put such a system on his balcony
to have the consent of 51% of the owners of the building
Permission from the energy company serving the building is also required
Habitat Bulgaria has already several times raised the issue of easing the legal environment regarding the placement of solar panels on balconies
but there has never been a reaction from the state
