The Ukrainian Black Sea port of Odesa has appointed Mark Petrov as its Ambassador to Bulgaria, the city’s Mayor’s Office reports on its website, covering an October decision by the local commission in charge of ambassadorial appointments. The city and the province of Odesa are home to a large Bulgarian community.

At the same meeting, the commission also appointed ambassadors of the one-million-population city to Moldova and Czechia.

An Odesa Ambassador is expected to work for improving the city’s image and prestige and promoting its cultural, tourist, economic, educational, medical and humanitarian cooperation with partners in Ukraine and abroad.

Odesa now has ambassadors to Italy, Greece, France, Slovakia, the United Kingdom, Poland, Morocco, Kenya, Moldova, Czechia and Bulgaria and the city of Kharkiv in Ukraine.

Earlier in November, Ambassador Mark Petrov met with Elena Buynevich, who heads the Education and Science Department of the Odesa City Council. They discussed Odesa’s cooperation with cities in Bulgaria in the field of education and sport, and possibilities for experience sharing between Odesa and Bulgaria.
