In 2013 Bulgaria with the assistance of the Jewish organizations and communities, organized a lot of events in different states so as to tell the world about this action of the Bulgarian civil society 70 years ago.  The anniversary was marked in Paris, Budapest, Washington, Brussels, the President said during the meeting held with representatives of the Jewish organizations, in which Foreign Minister Christian Vigenin also took part.

The Head of State emphasized the strategic partnership between Bulgaria and the State of Israel.
