A new protest has been announced in Velingrad due to the ongoing construction and installation activities around the karst spring Kleptuza. The citizens' initiative "For Kleptuza" and local residents demand the immediate cessation of construction works, removal of the concrete structures in the area, and the restoration of the spring's natural appearance.

The five-day deadline that the protesters gave to the municipal administration and government institutions to meet their demands expires today. So far, according to the protest participants, no response has been received, and the results of the investigations ordered regarding the case have not yet been publicly announced.

The next protest is scheduled for Thursday, May 28, at 9:00 AM in front of the Municipality building in Velingrad. It will coincide with the upcoming session of the Municipal Council.

The dissatisfaction of the city's residents and their supporters from across the country is driven by the activities taking place in the area. They demand concrete actions to protect Kleptuza — one of Velingrad's symbols and the most famous natural landmarks in the region.
