National Assembly Chair Nataliya Kiselova held talks with representatives of the Jewish community in Bulgaria on the occasion of Passover, Parliament's press office said on Wednesday.

Kiselova wished all representatives of the Jewish community in Bulgaria health, happiness and well-being.

“It is important to know and accept the customs and traditions of different faiths because they are an expression of our respect for the different. The understanding we show towards each other helps us to be united and work together for the better future of Bulgaria,” she added.

The Jewish community presented Kiselova with the symbols of Pesach - matzah (unleavened bread) and kosher wine. They told the history of the holiday and how it is marked.
