The flights will depart at the end of June to the Bulgarian Black Sea coast, she added. The first ones are planned to Varna from Perm, Orenburg, Krasnoyarsk, Ufa and Novosibirsk of their Nordwind airline. Respectively, they will start operating from Burgas to Anapa, Khabarovsk, Grozny, Kemerovo, Tomsk Bogashevo, Novokuznetsk, Beslan (Vladikavkaz).
The registrations of Russian tourists for Bulgaria are actually starting. Rumyana Yuksel expects the programs to start from other cities in Russia.
There are currently no flights from Russia to the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. The Russian airline S7 postponed its program for June 26 10 days ago. Earlier this month, she suspended flights to Bourgas until the end of May. Until now, the Russian state did not allow its citizens to come to Bulgaria.
Our country was not included in the list of hostile countries of Russia, but in reality there was still a ban, which applied not only to us, but also to 15 other countries, including Greece, Turkey, Italy, Spain and others.
The Bulgarian embassy and consular services are already working and issuing visas to Russians.
