Bulgaria is viewed with much greater understanding and respect in Germany today, Bulgarian pop singer Lucy Diakovska said at the second Bulgaria Across Five Oceans forum, held at Inter Expo Centre in Sofia on Saturday. The event is organized by the Bulgaria Wants You platform.

"I’m excited that we can feel connected through Bulgaria’s colors - white, green, and red - wherever we are in the world," she noted, adding that she has never distanced herself from her Bulgarian identity. Diakovska emphasized that Germany gave her valuable opportunities and helped her demonstrate that Bulgarians can succeed and lead anywhere in the world.

Diakovska returned to Bulgaria in 2016, having gained determination and experience abroad. The goal, she believes, is to have a long-lasting impact. People grow up and are shaped in Bulgaria, develop their skills abroad, and then return home to contribute.

She pointed out that everyone now has the opportunity to be free, pursue their ambitions, and make a meaningful contribution. "I’ve always been proud to be Bulgarian. We are no longer seen only as people who provide services, but as leaders who can drive and manage change," Diakovska emphasized. She also stressed the importance of strong national leaders who inspire pride and unity, as well as the need to preserve historical memory so that society can build on the past rather than destroy it.

The event again brings together Bulgarians from the country and abroad, leading companies, visionaries and opinion leaders to present real opportunities for building a career and a life in Bulgaria, the platform told BTA earlier.

BTA is hosting its own booth at the career forum for the second year running. This year, BTA will spotlight BTA School, its internship and career development unit.

The media partners of Bulgaria Across Five Oceans are Nova Broadcasting Group, Darik Radio and BTA.
