Seslavtsi, Kremikovtsi (the neighbourhood itself, not only the plant), and maybe Malinova dolina villa zone, and maybe even "Rebublika 2" and "Toleva mahala" (unless they are parts of Voluyak, but I think they are parts of Sofia. But they are definitely not parts of Bozhurishte, as they are within Sofia municipality.)
