The Ambassador of France to Bulgaria H.E. Eric Lebedel bestowed the order to President Plevneliev. “I am proud that I was the President who said on the first day of my term in office that to me the EU would not be foreign policy, but a family. I worked from day one for the confidence of the European leaders and received that confidence", Rossen Plevneliev said.
