Sofias Vuzrazhdane Park To Stay Constructionfree

Sofia mayor Boiko Borissov said on June 18 that there would not be any building activity in Vuzrazhdane Park while he is city mayor, municipality spokesperson Tsvetanka Krusteva told the Sofia Echo.

As previously reported by The Sofia Echo, competing claims over the ownership of a large land plot from Vuzrazhdane Park near Sofia centre have sparked a row on June 6.

Councillors from the Socialist party accused municipal company Sofiiski Imoti of selling 2.1 ha of land in the Zona B5 neighbourhood to Sigma Remont, a private company owned by a Seychelles-registered firm. Sofiiski Imoti chief executive Alexander Shopov, who rejected the allegations, said the municipal company never sold the land and that he was at a loss to explain how Sigma Remont acquired the ownership paperwork.

The land plot belonged to the municipal real estate company Sofiiski Imoti, Borissov said.

After Borissov filed a complaint, Sofia City Court issued on June 13 a ban on any deals with the land plot in question until the legal dispute is over, the city hall said in a media statement. Borissov has also ordered Sofiiski Imoti management to start legal action to restore municipal ownership of the land plot that is to become part of the planned Vuzrazhdane Park.
