Lyuba Batemberska calls for camping regulation, not a ban

Lyuba Batemberska from the 'Save Karadere' initiative called for regulation of camping rather than a ban. This followed an inspection at Karadere beach near Byala (Varna region), where nearly 1000 caravans, campers and tents were found. All illegal structures received notices of a ban on staying at the beach, which is state property and a nature tourism zone. If not removed by August 7, forced removal at the violators' expense will follow. Fines for zone A, which includes Karadere, range from 500 to 3000 leva. Batemberska doubts the figure of 1000 objects and noted that no places for nature recreation have been designated, and issues of waste collection and control remain unresolved.
