In Romania, local developments included the adoption of a kitten as the official mascot for Bucharest's City Hall by the city's general mayor. Separately, the national education system will introduce a new optional school subject titled 'An hour with and for animals'. In neighboring Bulgaria, the capital city of Sofia implemented a major overhaul of its 'Park & Ride' buffer parking system, which led to a significant price increase and subsequent public backlash. A cultural event, the Carnival of Venice, was also held in Sofia during the period.
