Civil Associations from Sofia in Press Conference on pavement removal around historical monuments and process transparency in municipal works

Sofia, Bulgaria.

April 27^th, 2014.

Civil associations pronounced against the removal of cobblestone pavement from the "Russian Memorial" square and Buxton Boulevard in Sofia. They also  they criticized the lack of transparency in the election process for the executor of the construction works.

Special attention was given to the absence of a public consultation to decide upon the subject, financial uncertainties, lack of interest for the cultural value of the city's public spaces and the disdain towards the ecological problems which would arise from the execution of the planned reconstruction.
