Hotel managers in the Bulgarian city of Veliko Tarnovo have decided to offer some of their rooms to distressed Japanese citizens after the disasters which hit the Asian country.

The local hotels have sent to the Japanese Ambassador in Sofia, Makoto Ono, offering 30 rooms for homeless Japanese, Daniel Panov, head of the Veliko Tarnovo municipal tourist agency, declared Wednesday.

" We are honored to invite distressed and homeless people or those evacuated from radiation emergency regions to stay at our city," the letter says.

The local authorities points out that Japan has supported Veliko Turnovo in joining the World League of Historical Cities and that the Japanese government has donated money for the city's "Konstantin Kisimov" musical theater.

Earlier on Wednesday, after a number of unsuccessful attempts, the leakage of radioactive water from the quake-stricken Japanese Nuclear Power Plant, NPP, Fukushima, was stopped.
