Motorists in Sofia and across Bulgaria are protesting at Alexander Nevsky Square, demanding changes to mandatory civil liability insurance rules. They want the option to purchase insurance for less than a year, as current regulations require annual coverage even though motorcycles are often used only during warmer months. The Financial Supervision Commission (KFN) has announced it will form a working group to propose seasonal insurance reforms. KFN Chairman Vasil Golemanov supports the idea, stating it would create a sense of fairness by aligning insurance costs with usage periods.
