A disputed mountain area could be excluded from the list of territories to be included in Natura 2000 environmental network because of the construction of a ‘mega ski resort.’ The area was located in Stara Planina Mountain near the town of Berkovitsa and consisted of more than 360 000 acres of forests, meadows and pastures property of Kom 2016, National Movement Simeon II (NMSII) MP Borislav Velikov said as quoted by Dnevnik daily.

The company planed to construct a big sports and tourism complex including hotels, ski tracks, lifts and paragliding ground, Dnevnik said.

The council of the ruling tripartite coalition decided to propose the exclusion of the construction site from Natura 2000 plans.

According to Bulgarian Society for the Protection of Birds (BSPB) the area was the habitat of rare bird species threatened with extinction.

Berkovitsa municipality, which was co-shareholder in Kom 2016, welcomed the decision, Dnevnik said.

Berkovitsa mayor Milcho Dotskov said that the construction of a big tourism complex was a dream of several generations of Berkovitsa citizen.

Natura 2000 is an European environmental protection network which includes territories from all EU member states. Bulgaria has to present to the EU a list of territories to be included in the network as a requirement for EU accession.

Bulgarian authorities still lack decision on the list as Natura 2000 opposes ecologists to local authorities and investors.
