The global economic crisis and moves by some European Union countries to extend their ban on Bulgarians taking jobs are having an effect on job market patterns in Bulgaria. In the issue published on November 21 2008, The Sofia Echo has full details.

Elsewhere in the newspaper, we outline the saga surrounding the prosecution of Hristo Kovachki, one of Bulgaria's wealthiest business people, for alleged tax evasion, and we report on the strange story of the "Liana" scandal surrounding the stalled investigation into the alleged business deals of one of the parties in the ruling coalition.

In our regular foreign news coverage, Spasena Baramova reports on the complicated dispute about the planned deployment of the EULEX mission in Kosovo.

The Sofia Echo's in-depth coverage this week includes an explanation of the difficulties being encountered within the European Union to come up with a fairer EU-wide way of dealing with bi-national divorce matters, and an update on the access to information progamme in Bulgaria.

As ever, The Sofia Echo includes popular favourites such as film, venue and restaurant reviews, listings of what's on at the movies, on television and in the world of theatre and arts and our weekly social pages.
