Deputy Minister of Regional Development and Public Works Yura Vitanova said Tuesday that the Bulgarian News Agency’s project The World of News – Sofia is highly meaningful.

She added that following its successful implementation, the project is expected to become one of the emblematic initiatives of the Regional Development Programme.

Vitanova and Bulgarian News Agency Director General Kiril Valchev exchanged copies of the administratively executed contract, electronically signed by both sides, for the provision of non-repayable financial assistance for the implementation of the project proposal.

The project has a total value of BGN 7,187,044.41, including BGN 6,357,599.99 in non-repayable funding under the Regional Development Programme 2021–2027 and BGN 829,444.42 in co-financing from BTA.

Vitanova expressed hope that construction activities will begin soon following the completion of the public procurement procedure and the selection of a contractor. She added that the project is intended for all citizens, including residents of Sofia, who will be able to enjoy the renovated BTA building and the News Hall, which she described as something interesting and innovative.
