The Bulgarian government will open two new visa application centers in Russia, in Omsk and Murmansk, announced the director of Bulgaria's Moscow consulate Angel Georgiev.

The move is motivated by the large interest of Russian tourists in travelling to Bulgaria, and will make the number of Bulgarian visa centers in Russia grow to 18.

Starting 2013, Bulgaria's Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be issuing 6-month multiple-entry visas to Russian citizens applying for the first time.

Georgiev, who participated in the Intourmarket 2013 international tourism exhibition in Moscow, also recalled that there are two new charter flights from Russia to Bulgaria - from Omsk and Orenburg.
