Zvezdelin,

If you are thinking that participating in the 6bone will somehow solve your
Internet connectivity problems, it can't.  As you are building a tunnel
between IPv4 end points, you are going to have to use a path normally
available to you by your available IPv4 connectivity in Bulgaria.

You can best perform this search for a good 6bone connection point by doing
it yourself, as you can run traceroute from your own system.  Just try
traceroutes to various 6bone backbone sites and look at the route and
delays you get...then choose the one that looks best.
