Bulgaria will spend EUR 500 M on repairs to its road network in 2008, double the amount allocated for this year, Regional Development Minister Assen Gagauzov said on Sunday.

The money will be used to restore between 2,500 and 3,000 kilometers of roads, Gagauzov told reporters.

Gagauzov opened a 4-kilometer road stretch linking the village of Zlatar to a neighbouring monastery, some 20 kilometers south of Shumen in western Bulgaria.
