When were the topographic maps produced?

The new topographic maps in a scale of 1:25 000 were produced in September 2006, based on the aerial photographs made in July 2004. The project was implemented jointly through cooperation between the State Authority for Geodetic Works (SAGW) and the Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA), in the period from March 2004 to September 2006.
