Bulgaria’s caretaker Tourism Minister Evtim Miloshev has said that the Yoghurt Festival held in the southern village of Momchilovtsi serves as a bridge between this country and China, the press service of Miloshev's Ministry said on Monday. He described the event as "an excellent opportunity for Chinese tourists to visit one of the most beautiful regions" in Bulgaria. Miloshev was speaking during a working meeting attended by the Chinese Ambassador in Sofia, Dai Qingli, Momchilovtsi Mayor Siyka Kartalova-Surkova, actor and founder of the museum of magic in the village Nencho Ilchev, and Ivan Todorov of the Bulgarian Center for Development, Investment, and Tourism in China, which is among the organizers of the festival.
