To mark the national day of the Republic of Bulgaria, as well as our own 85th birthday, Radio Bulgaria is launching a new online initiative – a quiz - in an attempt to find out what foreigners associate Bulgaria with most often, and what the lesser known facts about the country are to Bulgarians themselves.
There will be a different quiz question every month from a different sphere – culture, history, geography, science, sports.
At the end of the year we shall take a look to see which facts, individuals and events you associate Bulgaria with in the highest degree, and we shall rank them. Then we shall tell you all about them in a series of multimedia publications.
So, take our quiz!
