The cohesion funds of the European Union not only bring regions closer together economically through the financing of various infrastructure projects, but also bring peoples, societies and neighbours closer together, said Bulgarian Ambassador in Serbia Petko Doykov during the cross-border conference held as part of the Europe on Balkans: Cohesion Skills project at the National Press Club of BTA in Bosilegrad on Thursday.
Doykov wished many more years of successful work in the field of journalism of public importance on the occasion of the anniversary of the establishment of the press club of BTA in Bosilegrad, which is the first outside Bulgaria.
He also congratulated the correspondent of BTA in Bosilegrad, Aleksandar Dimitrov, for another edition of a charity initiative to help the local youth and people in need. "I am convinced that this initiative presents socially responsible cases that contribute to Bosilegrad becoming a better place to live in," Doykov said.
Through this initiative, BTA aims to raise public awareness and foster open dialogue about cohesion policy, local achievements, and the implementation of the EU's policy priorities. Between November 2024 and September 2025, BTA will host discussions at its press clubs in the following cities: Blagoevgrad, Burgas, Varna, Veliko Tarnovo, Vidin, Vratsa, Gabrovo, Dobrich, Kazanlak, Kardzhali, Kyustendil, Lovech, Montana, Pazardzhik, Pernik, Pleven, Razgrad, Ruse, Samokov, Svishtov, Sliven, Smolyan, Sofia, Stara Zagora, Troyan, Targovishte, Haskovo, Shumen, and Yambol. Cross-border conferences will be held in Belgrade, Bosilegrad, Bucharest, Edirne, Skopje, and Thessaloniki. The project builds on the Europe in the Balkans: A Common Future and Europe in Bulgaria: A Common Future projects, implemented by BTA in 2023 and 2024, respectively.
