Polish Minister of Culture and National Heritage Omilanowska to Visit Bulgaria Thursday

Sofia, August 24 (BTA) - Bulgarian Culture Minister Vezhdi Rashidov and Poland's Minister of Culture and National Heritage Malgorzata Omilanowska will discuss a draft of a new three-year cooperation programme in culture this Thursday in Sofia, Rashidov's Ministry reported in a Monday press release. The Polish Minister will arrive on a one-day visit to Bulgaria at Rashidov's invitation.
