These are some of the top headlines in Bulgarian newspapers on August 28 2008. The Sofia Echo has not verified these stories and cannot vouch for their accuracy.

Politics

- Prime Minister Sergei Stanishev was angry at the protesting dairy producers, Dnevnik daily said. He refused to meet them on August 27 because of their "provocative and illegal actions".

- European Commission (EC) vice-president Günter Verheugen concluded that the situation in Bulgaria was actually not that frightening, Dnevnik wrote. The other European Union members also had problems with corruption and their judicial systems.

Social

- The number of students to enrol in universities was decreasing, especially in the natural, mathematical and educational sciences, Dnevnik wrote. On the other hand, the universities did not plan to reduce the number of places they offered or on lecturers.

- The Commission for Consumer Protection (CCP) would also investigate the financial structure Dubai Investments, Dnevnik said. "We have examined the announcements and the information on the case and out first impressions are that the company offers disloyal commercial practice," CCP head Samyan Lazarov was quoted as saying.

Economy

- Bulgaria's banking system was stable and had continued developing at a fast pace, but there were "symptoms of future problems", Sega daily quoted Bulgarian Deposit Insurance Fund as saying.
