A procession and a solemn ritual with the participation of President Rumen Radev and Prime Minister Kiril Petkov was held in Bulgaria's Blagoevgrad on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of Gotse Delchev's birth. 

"Today, 150 years after the birth of Gotse Delchev, both in Bulgaria and in the Republic of North Macedonia we pay homage to his deed. Together we honour him in spirit, as Delchev himself would like, because during his lifetime he gathered and united people and fought against division and our common weaknesses," the president said in a speech in memory of the revolutionary who dedicated his life to the liberation of Macedonia and Edirne.
