Rumen Radev: Strengthening the Ties Between our Compatriots Abroad and Bulgaria is a Priority for the Presidential Institution
2017-06-28 16:05:00Strengthening the ties between our compatriots abroad and Bulgaria is a priority for the Presidential Institution, the Head of State said at a meeting held with representatives of the Bulgarian community in Romania today. In the Bulgarian Embassy in Bucharest President Rumen Radev held talks with the leaderships of the Bulgarian Union in Banat, the Federation of the Bulgarian Community in Romania and our compatriots that live in our northern neighbor.
“Thank you for preserving our rich culture and history. Although it is not easy to be a Bulgarian outside our homeland, you have managed to preserve your identity and Bulgarian spirit for already a couple of centuries,” Rumen Radev said at the meeting.
President Radev told the representatives of the Bulgarian community that together with his Romanian counterpart President Klaus Iohannis they have confirmed their readiness to work so as to improve and expand the transport connections between the two countries – to build new bridges and ferryboat lines across the Danube, which will connect the people, businesses and regions in the two countries.
At the meeting the Head of State told our compatriots in Romania that our country will consistently work to restore the opportunity for the Bulgarian community in Bucharest to have their church temple in which the liturgy will be held in Bulgarian. The representatives of the Bulgarian associations in Romania, for their part, called on Bulgaria to send one more teacher in Bulgarian for the local Bulgarian community. A proposal was made whereby Bulgaria should undertake the initiative for transforming the offices of the Evlogi and Hristo Georgiev brothers into a museum of the Bulgarian revival in Bucharest and of the friendly relations between Bulgaria and Romania.
