FYI I’ve scrapped the Burgas part of the trip because of the requirement for a PCR test so will head down to Mali Losnij or Split, maybe Dubrovnik…. Thanks for the info…..
Be careful with your planning. Austria has declared a travel advisory for Bulgaria, Romania and Moldova, meaning you need a PCR test not older than 4 days when entering Austria from these countries. At the moment the situation everywhere is constantly in flux.
You might consider a landing at LOWW (Vienna) as it seems landing fees are now eliminated suspended… (not sure if this holds for GA aircraft too)

Where do I get that? I requested access to their online site and was told that this is only for internal VFR flights in Bulgaria…..
You have a pm. Send him a mail, he was in Friedrichshafen and very forthcoming.
Doesn’t matter that it is inside BG, still is what you need.
Which direct connection to Vienna City from LOAV?
From LOAN you can get a taxi (15€) to the trainstation which has frequent train service to Vienna city center (55 minutes).
Bulgaria has been added to the List of countries for which quarantine has been imposed by Austria. It is likely that others will follow.
I would not recommend to risk this for the moment therefore.
Never had anything other than SD formy Balkan trips. Worked fine, seemed sufficient.
I also file along IFR waypoints rather than VFR routes. Appreciated by controllers.
Never had a problem flying through Serbian in either direction. Often (like in Hungary) they will volunteer that you have no restriction on your planned route. Or advise you how to avoid, or whether there might be a coffee break (indeed) in the activated zone. Had the same in Bulgaria.
Dont worry too much, mostly easier than it looks on paper…
