site.btaAnniversary Guests: Former President Rosen Plevneliev

"BTA is one of the most important institutions for Bulgarian statehood," former President Rosen Plevneliev (2012-2017) said here on Sunday on his arrival at BTA for a ceremony marking the news agency's birthday.

He said the first message on this anniversary is one of pride for this institution, which is among the most significant for Bulgarian statehood.

Plevneliev expressed his great respect and strong hope that BTA will keep up the good work. "Today, we will see a new Archive Hub, renovated offices. This is truly a statement that, at least here, Bulgarian statehood remains firmly established, and the truth stands above all of us. Let's not forget the legacy of our ancestors - a legacy affirming Bulgaria's European and democratic development," he added.
