Glavni razlog za većinu od nekih 580 požara u Bugarskoj prošle godine bilo je paljenje strništa i biljnih ostataka od strane poljoprivrednika, iako je ta praksa zabranjena i kažnjiva novčano u iznosu i do 3.000 eura.
The main reason for the vast majority of some 580 wildfires in Bulgaria last year was the burning of stubble and vegetable residuals by farmers although the practice is prohibited and is punishable by a fine of up to 3,000 euros.
