In order to promote the application, a large-scale information campaign has been carried out across the country - with specially organised events in Sofia, Plovdiv, Blagoevgrad and Stara Zagora, the placement of billboards in key locations, as well as the making of a video that can currently be seen on screens in metro stations.
