Bulgarias Environment Ministry To Examine Construction In Irakli Coastal Region

Environment Minister Djeved Chakurov would meet on Wednesday representatives of the environmental organisation opposing construction in Bulgaria’s wild beach coastal area Irakli.

Irakli is a region with some of the last remaining unmodified beaches on the Black Sea coast, mediapool.bg reported.

For several months environmentalists have been protesting and collecting signatures in favour of a construction ban.

The organisation proposed the signing of a memorandum protecting endangered coastal regions. Organisation representatives would ask Chakurov to sign the document during the meeting, mediapool.bg reported.

Mediapool.bg reported that such document cannot stop coastal construction. If construction companies received permits, they could continue creating buildings in the wild beach areas.
