From a small urban problem, a project that was not fully implemented, we are in the crazy situation we are in. The court's decision is what it is and we will comply with it. This was stated to BTV by the Mayor of Sofia, Vasil Terziev, on the occasion of the court's decision to abolish the new organization of traffic in the city of Sofia on “Vitosha“ Blvd., “Patriarch Evtimiy“ Blvd. and St.“Prof. Fritjof Nansen".
It is not the job of the interior minister to inspect whether fences have been put up, the mayor also said.
Since the decision of the court, not a single peg has been put in place, Terziev revealed.
According to him, the problem is politicized.
And he said that it was GERB that did not assign and accept a new GPOD during their administration.
In response to whether the Metropolitan Municipality has communication with the SDVR, the mayor replied: "Yes, we write to each other. We exchange letters."
"We don't talk to Kalin Stoyanov, only through the media. I just told him, wrote him that this is not ok."
And he said he would not put up metal fences because it would cause great inconvenience to the residents.
Between BGN 2 and BGN 7,000 will be the fine that can be imposed. (A sanction of BGN 2,000 to BGN 7,000, as well as a possible report to the prosecutor's office for failure to comply with a court decision, which is a crime under the Criminal Code, may be imposed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Municipality of Sofia.)
"If we are sentenced to these fines, I will pay them myself. This is personal responsibility."
According to Terziev, the new organization in the city center cost about BGN 400,000.
The mayor said he was ready to make adjustments to the project and would have already completed them if he had the chance.
"This project is painful for everyone, but I believe that mistakes will improve our work with other institutions," said Vasil Terziev.
The new General Plan for traffic in the capital will be ready in 2027
"The requested resignation of Terziev may be resolved in another way. We may go to local elections in the fall. Sixth sense."
The decision on the cassation of the elections in the capital is expected next week.
