A plaque was installed on the doorway of Madara AD, a Bulgarian heavy truck plant, this week, to commemorate its founder, Moncho Behar.

Behar was also co-founder of Balkancar.

The Sofia News Agency reported floral wreaths were placed at the plant, in tribute to Behar's memory, by Madara AD's current owner, Valeri Simeonov, and the district governor of Dobritch, Krassimir Kostav.

Behar, who was the father of Sofia News Agency publisher Maxim Behar, died on March 4, after suffering a heart attack (Forkliftaction.com News #199).

After serving almost 20 years in Balkancar's top management, Behar served two terms as a commercial counsellor in the Bulgarian Embassy in Prague.

Shumen mayor Vesselin Zlatev and the municipal council chairperson Daniela Russeva attended the installation of the plaque.
