What we're preparing

Bulgaria doesn't teem with water sources, as the average annual flow per inhabitant in our country is 2100 m3. Therefore it is smaller and the technically exploitable hydropower potential of the country - about 1200 Kwh/inhabitant. The HPP uses the cheapest raw material. These plants are ecologically clean, but their construction is expensive. Our country has limited hydropower resources - only 26 billion kWh. In Bulgaria are operating 86 hydropower plants, which produce only 7% of the electricity in the country.

Great events are being prepared

The second meeting in Lithuania and Poland

Martenitsa (Bulgarian: мартеница, plural мартеници martenitsi) is a small piece of adornment, made of white and red yarn and worn from March 1 until around the end of March (or the first time an individual sees a stork, swallow or budding tree). The name of the holiday is Baba Marta. "Baba" (баба) is the Bulgarian word for "grandmother" and Mart (март) is the Bulgarian word for the month of March. Baba Marta is a Bulgarian tradition related to welcoming the upcoming spring. The month of March, according to Bulgarian folklore, marks the beginning of springtime. Therefore, the first day of March is a traditional holiday associated with sending off winter and welcoming spring.
The same tradition is also held by Macedonians in the Republic of Macedonia, as well as in Aegean Macedonia in northern Greece. Romanians also have a similar but not identical holiday on March 1, called "Mărţişor". If and how these two holidays are related is still a matter of debate between ethnologists.

Italy

Italy, officially the Italian Republic (Italian: Repubblica italiana), is a country located in south-central Europe. With 60.4 million inhabitants, it is the sixth most populous country in Europe, and the twenty-third most populous in the world.

Italy's capital, Rome, was for centuries the political centre of Western civilisation as the capital of the Roman Empire..

Welcome in Sardinia-

Sardinia is the second-largest island in the
Mediterranean Sea (after Sicily and before Cyprus). It is an autonomous region of Italy.

nThe island has a typical Mediterranean climate. During the year there are approximately 300 days of sunshine, with a major concentration of rainfall in the winter and autumn, some heavy showers in the spring and snowfalls in the highlands. It can blow quite strongly, but it is usually dry and cool and makes for a sailor's paradise.
