An EU flag raising ceremony was held in front of the presidency building in Sofia to mark Europe Day, 9 May, attended by President Rumen Radev, National Assembly President Dimitar Glavchev, MPs and other officials.

Before that the Bulgarian head of state took part in a wreath laying ceremony at the Monument to the Unknown Soldier, organized to mark 72 years since the end of World War II.

“Today we are marking Europe Day, but also Victory Day, because without the millions of lives laid down for it, Europe today would not be the same,” President Radev said.
