Svilen Yankov, Director of the local Employment Bureau, told BGNES that a representative of the glass-works had spoken to a member of the Bureau and announced these intentions, but that he has not yet delivered a formal written notification.

According to Yankov, however, it is not mandatory that the employees to be made redundant total 100.
