Brand Bulgaria should be a national priority like the euro and Schengen, said the chairwoman of Europa Nostra Bulgaria Slavka Bozukova, opening the forum, during which the annual awards “The Wonders of Bulgaria” for 2023 were given. On the basis of the unique Bulgarian code, the concept of Brand Bulgaria, a new calling card for Bulgaria in front of the world, should be developed and launched.
And as a mission to revive Bulgarian spirituality.
And as a tool to build the country’s image and reputation.
And as a cause to allow our cultural treasure to take its rightful place in the European one and at the same time to turn our country into a leading European destination for tourism and innovation, Ms Bozukova was adamant.
“Thank you for your energy, because you have made Brand Bulgaria a cause,” said Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Maria Gabriel.

The cultural institutes of Bulgaria abroad will have a special place in Brand Bulgaria. A unified cultural calendar of Bulgaria is also to be prepared, which will be observed both at home and by the missions abroad, Gabriel said.
Let’s try to tell ourselves through Brand Bulgaria with a fascinating story connecting the past, the present and the future.
With new products and new attractions.
I believe that together we will succeed.
This is a cause, accept it, urged the Minister of Culture Krustev.
Europa Nostra is an NGO that has existed for 60 years and has 300 affiliated organisations in Europe.
Cultural Heritage Society is now one of them .
Неправителствената организация, оглавявана от Славка Бозукова, играе огромна роля в опазването на старините в България, подчерта Пийт Яспър.
Congratulations for what you are doing and for the wonderful idea of Brand Bulgaria, for the increasingly clearly defined goal of cultural diplomacy, said the MEP from Renew Europe Iskra Mihaylova.
The work of the Ministry of Tourism on Brand Bulgaria was presented by the advisor of Zaritza Dinkova – prof. Mariela Modeva, who has been a partner of the initiative since the time when she was Deputy Minister.
She said that only the united forces of all will lead to the realization of the cause.
