The Bulgarian government has approved a financial allocation of €4.6 million to the Sofia Municipality for the security of the city's metro system.
The funds are designated to cover the costs of police protection for "Metropolitan - Sofia" from January 1, 2026, to April 30, 2026. The metro system is considered a strategic object for national security, highlighting the importance of maintaining robust security measures.
The decision comes as part of ongoing efforts to enhance the safety and security of critical infrastructure in the capital. The metro, as a major transportation artery for Sofia's residents and visitors, plays a crucial role in the city's daily operations and economic activity.
The allocation of these funds underscores the government's commitment to ensuring that the metro system operates without any significant security threats. This financial support is expected to bolster the effectiveness of the police presence and security protocols within the metro network.
