The swirl of allegations surrounding the National Revenue Agency have already cost the job of its chief, Maria Mourgina. Bulgaria's opposition parties followed up by setting their sights on Plamen Oresharski, Finance Minister and as such politically accountable for the agency. The issue of The Sofia Echo published on February 20 2009 has all the details in two separate reports, along with a short profile on one of the figures key to the allegations.

From Pristina, Magdalena Rahn reports exclusively for The Sofia Echo on the celebrations of the first anniversary of Kosovo's unilateral declaration of independence.

The business section looks at all angles of the global financial crisis and the impact that it is having on Bulgaria, while we report on some of the key issues and decisions facing Bulgaria's food industry.

The Sofia Echo's features section this week has Rory Parsons' take on Bulgaria's casinos, and of course, our regular entertainment listings, restaurant review, social photos and sports coverage.
