Title: The Intriguing Tale of a Bulgarian Hausmeister at Silvio Berlusconi‘s Luxury Villa

In an astonishing turn of events, a Bulgarian man, Velislav Kunov, has revealed his extraordinary experience as the caretaker of one of former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi’s most lavish estates. Born in Dupnitsa, Bulgaria, Kunov migrated to Italy driven by the promise of better opportunities, following in the footsteps of his father who had settled there earlier.

Kunov’s life took an unexpected turn when he received an offer to manage Berlusconi’s palatial residence in Arco Re, near Milan. The vast villa, once a monastery, had been transformed into a museum-like haven by the media mogul and politician. Kunov’s task was monumental – he was responsible for furnishing the entire estate, from external decor to opulent paintings and intricate gold-leaf frames.

The Bulgarian caretaker provided a firsthand account of the former premier’s penchant for collecting masterpieces, recalling entire floors dedicated to works of art maintained in climate-controlled ‘cold rooms’ to preserve their integrity. Kunov estimated the current value of the villa to exceed a billion euros.

Kunov also shared insights into Berlusconi’s visits, noting his occasional presence with underage women. On one occasion, a replica artwork was delivered for distribution to world leaders, including an ambitious piece intended for Russian President Vladimir Putin.

However, the salient period of Kunov’s tenure was marred by controversy. An investigation ensued after one of Berlusconi’s close associates exposed an intricate web of deceit involving counterfeit artworks. Despite the drama, Kunov reflected positively on his experience, acknowledging earnings of over 10,000 euros and expressing contentment with his lifestyle, which allowed him to forgo regular shopping for groceries in favor of finer libations.

Today, Kunov has segued into pursuing his passion – motorcycles. Together with his wife, he’s attended prestigious exhibitions such as those held in Milan. They’ve also recently welcomed their first child and continue to share romantic moments, from enchanting Venetian escapades to fine dining experiences.

This remarkable story serves as a testament to the extraordinary twists and turns life can take, as an unsuspecting Bulgarian migrant finds himself at the helm of one of Europe’s most remarkable estates. Kunov’s experience offers a fascinating glimpse into Berlusconi’s enigmatic lifestyle and the art-driven opulence of his private realm.

Title: New Year’s Blackout: Residents of Sofia’s "Benkovski" Quarter Left in the Dark for Hours

Residents in Sofia’s "Benkovski" quarter ushered in 2025 with an unexpected and prolonged power outage, leaving them in the dark and cold for nearly 18 hours.

"What a way to start the New Year," recounted a local resident. "We were all in high spirits, and suddenly at 21:30, all the lights went out. It was horrible. We didn’t know when the power would be restored."

The power was momentarily restored around 22:30, only to go out again at 15:30 the next day, leaving residents stranded without electricity and heat. Many of the affected residents sought refuge with family and friends, while others continuously reported the outage.

In a statement sent to bTV, the power distribution company attributed the blackout to damage on two underground cables. However, some locals are questioning why a seemingly local issue took so long to resolve.

"A small-scale problem like this should have been fixed in hours, not nearly a day," said another resident. "I wonder what would happen if there was a larger-scale national problem. This isn’t the first time we’ve had issues with the old cable; it happened around Christmas two years ago as well."

The residents of "Benkovski" quarter hope that the power company will find a permanent solution to prevent such incidents in the future.

Tragic Fall: 14-Year-Old Boy Dies After Leaning Out of 14th Floor Window

In a devastating turn of events, a 14-year-old boy has lost his life after falling from the 14th floor of a high-rise building in the city. The incident, which occurred around 9 pm, has left the local community in mourning.

The teenager was among a group of six children who had gathered on the rooftop of the residential building. At some point, one of the children brought out a vaping device containing a substance believed to be cannabis-like. Each of the children took a puff, except for the 14-year-old, who took multiple hits, reportedly resulting in him feeling unwell.

In a tragic sequence of events, the boy opened a window on the floor between the roof and the 14th floor and leaned out. He subsequently fell from the great height, leading to his untimely death.

Details surrounding the incident are still emerging, but authorities have launched an investigation to determine the exact cause of the fall. The boy’s family has been devastated by the loss, and they have requested privacy during this difficult time.

This tragic incident serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers of substance use, even in seemingly controlled environments. Our thoughts and condolences go out to the family and friends of the young boy during this trying time.

King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofía hosted their children and grandchildren for Christmas festivities at their Madrid residence. While not all family members could gather for the occasion, it’s expected that the entire family will reunite on January 6, 2025, to celebrate Queen Margarita’s 90th birthday together.

Title: Macedonia‘s Christian Mickoski: No Constitution Changes Without EU Assurances

In an emphatic statement, Macedonian Prime Minister Christian Mickoski has made it crystal clear that constitutional changes, in line with the Negotiation Framework for starting EU membership talks, will not occur under his leadership and that of his party, VMRO-DPMNE. Speaking at his last press conference for the year, Mickoski underscored that without "guarantees from Brussels or a joint plan ensuring no further bilateral issues," there will be no constitutional revisions.

Mickoski emphasized, "I expect the Macedonian issue to finally see the light of day in Brussels. I want to sit down with people in Brussels and create a plan and scenario for the end game. I want to see an active participation plan that ensures we won’t face bilateral problems anymore."

Responding toqueries about the EU’s insistence on constitutional changes and the remarks of Parliament Speaker Afrim Gjashi, Mickoski maintained his stance, asserting that without his party’s political will, no constitutional amendments will occur. "There will be no political will, not while I lead the government and head VMRO-DPMNE. Without VMRO-DPMNE, there will be no constitutional changes," he asserted.

Mickoski, pragmatic in his approach, stated, "I’m not an adventurer or an exhibitionist. If I take a decision, I want it to signify the end of a process, not just the beginning. When someone in Brussels is ready to discuss ending the process, then I’ll be ready too."
