A team of Mariana Shishkova, Vesselin Trendafilov, Stefan Hristov and our partner “SVIAT BEZ GRANICI” – Stara Zagora inspected two potential initiatives on site.

The first one was situated in the village of Bulgarovo. The initiative comprised the purchase of bee families. The plot where they should be situated was at the end of the village, in fenced yard with good perspective for quality honey. The participant had good experience raising bees and already had 20 hives, but some were empty that rose the idea of the initiative. The participant had no problem realizing the end product to the market as he was selling abroad mainly in England. Some of his bee products met the English quality standards. After discussing the key steps of the deal with the partner, we approved the initiative.

The second site we visited was in the town of Kameno. A Roma family was willing to open a food store for packed foods, beverages and take away food. Previously the family was working in Greece and now after coming to their home country they would like to start a family business. The initiative proposed was for purchasing equipment needed in the store. After clarifying key issues we gave permission the initiative to start.
