site.btaParticipants in 14 Centuries of Bulgaria in Europe Programme Honour Memorials in Vratsa
Flowers were laid in front of the monument to Hristo Botev in the central square in Vratsa on Wednesday as part of the 14 Centuries of Bulgaria in Europe programme, a joint initiative of BTA, Bulgarian National Television (BNT), and Bulgarian National Radio (BNR).
Those who honoured the monument included BTA Director General Kiril Valchev, Sofia University Rector Prof. Georgi Valchev, BNT Panorama host Boyko Vassilev, Vratsa Mayor Kalin Kamenov, and documentary filmmaker Hristo Iliev. They then visited the memorial plaque on the building that once housed the Stefanaki Savov inn, named after the famous Vratsa revolutionary and political activist. This inn was a popular meeting place for revolutionary activists in Vratsa, and was also visited by Nikola Obretenov, Georgi Benkovski and Panayot Volov.
The participants also laid flowers in front of the memorial plaque placed in the courtyard of the Sophronius of Vratsa church, where they visited the permanent exhibition on Old Bulgarian icons from the Vratsa region. The guests then visited the Vratsa Regional History Museum, where they viewed the Rogozen Treasure and the original Vratsa flag, sewn for the uprising in April 1876.
The 14 Centuries of Bulgaria in Europe programme includes anniversaries through 2032, when 1,400 years will be marked since the founding of Old Great Bulgaria.
