Bulgaria's National Social Security Institute (NOI) has launched a new system, allowing citizens to receive their compensations through the Revolut payment platform. This marks a significant step towards modernizing public services and offering greater convenience to beneficiaries.
Meanwhile, the fight against fentanyl continues, with the Interior Ministry confirming that the drug's production is occurring within Bulgaria, not solely through imports. Eight individuals have been charged following a raid that uncovered a production laboratory, and authorities anticipate the emergence of a new organized crime group involved in its distribution. This development sheds new light on the domestic dimension of the fentanyl surge.
In other news, Bulgaria and North Macedonia are set to collaborate on the construction of a cross-border tunnel as part of the Corridor 8 infrastructure development. Additionally, an old thermal power plant near a Sofia metro station is slated for transformation into a public complex, and the historic Buzludzha monument will receive a digital twin, highlighting ongoing efforts in infrastructure and cultural preservation.
