The government is meeting today, after Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov unprecedentedly canceled the scheduled one last week due to the reformatting of the ruling coalition requested by GERB leader Boyko Borisov.
Today, the ministers are expected to approve the payment of one-time financial assistance to the heirs of the four people who lost their lives on October 3 and 4 in the water disaster in the Elenite resort complex.
Each of the families who lost a loved one in the water disaster in Elenite is expected to receive 15,000 leva. In addition, Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov is introducing amendments to two laws – for special intelligence assets and in the one for state reserves and wartime stocks.
The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport also submits for approval amendments to the Railway Transport Act. The government will increase the state's shareholding in the capital of "Sofia Tech Park" AD to cover the operating costs of the "supercomputer" and for its upgrade activities.
Private properties will also be expropriated for state needs, along the route of the "Hemus" highway in the 299th and 311th kilometer section, in the territory of the Targovishte district.
The cabinet also adopts a list of specialties for which there is a shortage of experts in individual administrations and for which scholarships can be provided in 2026.
