Balgarianovinite.com The 2026 motorcycle season 2026 was officially opened in Sofia with a call to comply with the Road Traffic Act during a ceremony held in Alexander Nevsky Square on Saturday.
Father Kostadin led a water blessing ritual and delivered a message encouraging tolerance among all road users.
Dozens of motorcyclists rode along central city boulevards toward their final destination in the Boyana area.
“Motorcyclists are back on the road – watch out for them and follow the rules,” said Lyubomir Zhingov, a member of the Sofia Motorcyclists Association, speaking to journalists at the opening.
Zhingov advised riders to stay cautious and drive carefully. “With this opening, we want to tell drivers that we are back on the road now that the weather is getting warmer. I call for attention from both motorcyclists and drivers, because everyone wants to get home safely,” he said.
He stressed that all road users must first and foremost follow the Road Traffic Act, and secondly, drive at an appropriate speed. He noted that Bulgaria’s road infrastructure is not at Western European levels, which can contribute to traffic accidents.
The Sofia Motorcyclists Association also raised the issue of year-round third-party liability insurance, arguing that it is unnecessary to pay for a full calendar year when motorcycles are used only during the warmer months.
The association is scheduled to meet next week with representatives of the Financial Supervision Commission, with the national ombudsman also expected to attend. 2026 Motorcycle Season Opens in Sofia with Call to Follow Traffic Laws 2026 THE NEWS FROM BULGARIA – NEWS AGENCY 2009-2025 2026-05-02 10:11:39 Latest news World news Country news Most important news latest news most important latest of the day Justice Petar Nizamov Feathers Petar Nizamov- Feathers Justice bg iustitia.bg iustitia iusticia usticia investigation Burgas Bulgaria news news of the last hour news of the day news of today Bulgaria news The news from Bulgaria blitz news top news most important most commented latest news Boyko Borisov news weather coronavirus news news weather facebook youtube facebook instagram news today news of the last minutes news today today news news bg news leading news hot news bg news site for news all news news bg news of the last hour latest latest news bg news of today news today news today news of the last hour latest news today news bg news news 24 hours news vesti bg novini news world bird bg bivol bg bivol trud bg novini latest news today novinite bg news hello bulgaria political party coat of arms delyan peevski scandalous Bulgarian National Television Free Europe Television scandal exclusive live tv live right now tv tv online tv program bg live now tv news online tv online live court Burgas court Burgas district court Burgas court Burgas district court Burgas district court Burgas appellate court Burgas prosecutor Burgas prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev Prosecutor Geshev Tsatsarov Ministry of Internal Affairs Burgas ODMR Burgas ODPR Burgas police Burgas district police Burgas prosecutor Tsatsarov SGS cases Varna court chairman of the SGS court decisions on civil cases decisions on cases Plovdiv court decision of the court decisions cases Varna court criminal cases district district court decisions work in the court SGS chairman of the SGS judges Sofia court post judges Plovdiv court Plovdiv judges Plovdiv Supreme Court Inspectorate Supreme Court Supreme Judicial Council lawyer lawyer criminal cases lawyer civil cases lawyer marriage cases lawyer administrative criminal law criminal process civil law civil process administrative law constitutional law
