Caretaker Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev posted a greeting on Facebook, addressing the Muslim community in Bulgaria on the occasion of Eid al-Adha ("the Holiday of Sacrifice").

"I greet the Bulgarian Muslims on the occasion of the great feast of Eid al-Adha and send my wishes for health and prosperity. May the mercy, forgiveness and mutual support that accompany the holiday fuel the understanding and tolerance that Bulgaria exemplifies daily," Glavchev 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 date it has been held the previous year.
