The Bulgarian News Agency (BTA) is organizing a local conference on the Europe on Balkans: Cohesion Skills project, which the agency is implementing with the support of the European Commission. The event that starts at the Silistra BTA National Press Club on Wednesday morning will discuss new developments in the EU cohesion policy for the 2021-2027 period and the results achieved between 2014 and 2020.

The forum will be attended by the Mayor of Silistra Alexander Sabanov, Silistra Regional Governor Iliyan Velikov, as well as by representatives of the education sector, NGOs and businesses.

BTA's initiative aims to provide information to the public and to promote an open dialogue on cohesion policy, local results and the implementation of the European Union's policy priorities. BTA is hosting discussions in its press clubs in 31 Bulgarian cities, as well as cross-border conferences in six other cities in neighbouring countries between November 2024 and September 2025.
