The National Revenue Agency and the Customs Agency together against gambling and drug addiction

The campaign "You are not alone" was created 23 years ago by the head of the department "Combating drug trafficking" at the Customs Agency Stefan Bakalov

The National Revenue Agency and the Agency “Customs“ unite their efforts to prevent and combat gambling and drug addiction. The two revenue agencies are merging their campaigns aimed at teenagers, with the joint initiative remaining under the tagline “You are not alone”.

The campaign “You are not alone“ was established 23 years ago by the head of the department “Combating drug trafficking” in the “Customs” Agency Stefan Bakalov. The initiative is aimed at preventing drug addiction among young people and includes presentations and demonstrations in various schools across the country.

For several years, as a regulatory body in the field of gambling, the NRA has also been conducting initiatives related to the prevention of gambling addiction.

The intention of the National Revenue Agency and the “Customs” is with the unification of the two campaigns, their message “ no to gambling and drug addiction“ to reach a wider range of adolescents. For this purpose, the two institutions are launching channels on Tik-Tok and Instagram, where young people will be able to see and hear influencers, favorite faces from the small screen, music, fashion and theater scene. Through the social networks most used by teenagers, the NRA and the “Customs” will inform their followers about all news related to the campaign, upcoming concerts and events, and will also make them sympathetic to the fight against drug and gambling addiction.

The first big event, part of the united campaign “You are not alone“, is on August 16 in Nessebar. It is organized with the support of the Nessebar Municipality. The day will start with a presentation on the topic of drug and gambling addiction, continue with a demonstration with dogs trained in drug detection, and end with a big concert in the Old Town. Youth favorites Dara, Torino and Pashata, 100 kilos, as well as rock titans from B.T.R. will appear on stage.
