Bitola University has very good relations with Bulgarian higher education institutions, Vice-Rector Jasmina Bulevska - Talevska said at a cross-border conference within BTA's Europe on Balkans: Cohesion Skills project. The conference took place at the BTA National Press Club in Skopje on Thursday.

"Our university perceives Europe as home," Talevska stressed, adding that each semestre students from Bitola University are on exchange at a Bulgarian university.

Bitola University is working with the EU-financed Erasmus Programme. "We have met many good friends from Bulgaria under this programme, such as the Bulgarian Consul, who is often our guest and we are always happy to talk with him," the Vice-Rector commented.

She announced that the Faculty of Engineering will host an international conference in May, in which Sofia Technical University and a university from Serbia will participate. "We are proud that we have had many years of successful cooperation with universities in Bulgaria and we are ready to continue working with them," she said.

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. Until 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.
