A march took place at the Vasil Levski National Military University in Veliko Tarnovo. “Even in the most difficult times, the Bulgarian soldier has always been the last and selfless barrier in defense of the homeland”, President Rumen Radev said in his greeting speech to the Bulgarian army. “The modernization of the Bulgarian army will continue and these processes are irreversible.
