GERB leader Boyko Borissov posted a greeting on Facebook, addressing the Muslim community in Bulgaria on the occasion of Eid al-Adha ("the Holiday of Sacrifice"). "Happy Eid al-Adha to all Muslim friends! And as the holiday teaches - let us all in Bulgaria continue to help each other and live in understanding, no matter what religion and ethnicity we are," Borissov wrote.

In 2024, the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha is celebrated between June 16 and 19. The Muslim calendar follows the lunar cycles and therefore the holiday has no fixed date. Each year it shifts forward 10 days from the previous year.
