Bring the BBC World Service back to Bulgaria, campaigners call - The Sofia Echo reports

Six months after the BBC World Service stopped broadcasting for Bulgaria, The Sofia Echo reports on a campaign launched on Facebook asking for it to be restored. Gabriel Hershman gives an insight into the campaign and background into why the BBC World Service was forced to shut down.

In the news section the paper summarises the outcome of a week of protests in Sofia from university students. It also examines the reignited debate on whether Bulgaria can expect the relaunch of units 3 and 4 of Kozloduy nuclear power plant.

Elsewhere, Svetlana Guineva guides us through the new cadastral map and property register that will go online starting in February and examines how efficient it will be in preventing real estate fraud.

In the features section David Clark writes about his unique experience in Bulgarian hospitals and presents his survival guide.
As ever, The Sofia Echo includes popular favourites such as venue and restaurant reviews, listings of what's on in galleries, on television and in the world of theatre, and not to forget, our weekly social pages.
