The partnership between the Odessa National University of Economics and "D. A. Tsenov” Academy of Economics is an example of a successful model for adding value in the field of scientific research. With its annual scientific conferences, the Odessa National University of Economics has provided dozens of scientists from the Svishtov Academy and other foreign researchers with the opportunity to publish their papers abroad. Prof. Mihail Zveryakov himself is a Doctor Honoris Causa (Zastrahovatel.com, 2010) of D. A. Tsenov Academy and a prominent co-author in collaborative research publications indexed in SCOPUS Q1/WoS (Zahariev, et al., 2020). The paper commemorates and pays due respect to Prof. Anatoly Karpovich Pokrytan - one of the most prominent scientists in the field of economics whose centenary provided his scientific followers with the opportunity to reflect on his scientific legacy. The 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Odessa National Economic University in Ukraine (founded under the name Odessa Institute of National Economy) on 16 May 1921 is another evidence for our Ukrainian partner’s tenacity during the decades of intense socio-economic and ideological changes of the 20th and the 21st century.

The aim of the study is to establish the amount of funding in Bulgarian beekeeping and their trends. The goal is achived through an analysis of the tendencies and the main sources of financial means. The study analyses the financial support from European and national funds (the National Beekeeping Program, the de minimis scheme, the Rural Development Program) for over BGN 18 million and from commercial banks and own sources for over BGN 3 million. Together they form financial markets for over BGN 21 million a year in Bulgarian beekeeping. The European and state financial resources intended for Bulgarian beekeeping from the country's membership in the EU are increasing in absolute terms, but are decreasing relative to the total funds. Bulgarian beekeeping has gained access to additional funding, which is not proportionate in comparison with other sectors. Additional financial support is needed per hive for the ecosystem pollination service in order to ensure biodiversity and food security in the EU. The financing of the Bulgarian beekeeping will continue to grow steadily.

The paper examines the issues related to the impact of COVID-19 on tax gaps in Bulgaria. The authors define the various tax gaps in terms of their theoretical, practical and technical grounds as well as unique characteristics. The authors have analysed the dynamics of the gap between the tax and social insurance revenues in the Consolidated Fiscal Program (CFP) as they “should be” collected and as they “are” collected and prove that it was affected directly by the global COVID-19 pandemic. They justify the need for an innovative approach that would take into account the changed realities and the important role of CFP components for improving the public welfare and the sustainability of our economy. The research subject are tax gaps and its object is the impact of COVID-19 on the difference between the volume of collected and planned revenues from direct taxes, indirect taxes, social security and health insurance contributions in Bulgaria. The general conclusion is that the pandemic, which has lasted for already over a year, has slowed down the economy and hence has a negative affect on tax gaps in our country.
