Education is the responsibility of the entire civil society, Vidin Regional Governor Ani Harutyunyan said at the local conference within BTA's Europe on Balkans: Cohesion Skills project at the BTA National Press Club here on Tuesday. "Our aspiration is to transform schools into desirable places through European funding", she emphasized, adding that work on the dual education system is imminent.
Harutyunyan noted that the amount of the grant funding for the education sector in two major projects is nearly BGN 17 million. The two projects are the renovation of the Natural Sciences and Mathematics High School and the Tsar Simeon the Great Secondary School in Vidin.
Harutyunyan expressed appreciation for including Vidin in BTA's project. "I hope that ideas, partnership, debate will be the basis of today's forum," she concluded.
Through the Europe on Balkans: Cohesion Skills project, BTA aims to raise public awareness and foster open dialogue about cohesion policy, local achievements, and the implementation of the EU's policy priorities. The project kicked off with a conference in Veliki Preslav in November 2024.

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.
