Education is crucial for regional development, as every company considering investment in Dobrich and the surrounding area is asking where they will find qualified workers, said Dobrich Deputy Mayor Pavel Pavlov during a local conference as part of BTA's Europe on Balkans: Cohesion Skills project. The conference took place at the BTA National Press Club here on Tuesday.
Pavlov stressed that the municipal administration, along with kindergartens and schools operating as secondary budget spenders, are actively involved in numerous national programme projects. “The municipality takes advantage of every opportunity to upgrade educational infrastructure, because we understand that quality education depends on solid material conditions,” he said. Current projects under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan will allow three kindergartens and two schools to improve their facilities. In addition, the municipality is pursuing initiatives that promote equal access to education, Pavlov added.
BTA's Europe on Balkans: Cohesion Skills project 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. The schedule of conferences until the end of September 2025 includes events 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.
