Bulgarian President Rumen Radev's official visit to Austria has started with a meeting with the Bulgarian community in Vienna. There are more than 30,000 Bulgarians in Austria, including artists, scientists, descendants of Bulgarian gardeners from the "old" immigrant community, as well as many students.
