On the Day of the Unification of Bulgaria, September 6, Vice President Iliana Iotova will open a round table and a thematic exhibition on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the publication of Petar Beron’s Fish Primer (the first textbook in Bulgarian), the Consulate General in Barcelona said on its official website.
The anniversary is included in UNESCO's calendar of significant events to be celebrated this year. The forum will be opened by Vice President of Bulgaria Iliana Iotova, a special guest of the event, the Bulgarian diplomatic mission said.

The thematic exhibition is composed of panels, multimedia and copies of old printed manuscripts. During the event, honorary awards of the ULSIT will be presented to people who have made a significant contribution to the development of Bulgarian culture in Spain, the Consulate General of Bulgaria also said.
