Kazanlak Municipality has implemented projects worth over BGN 500 million for the three programming periods so far, Kazanlak Mayor Galina Stoyanova said during a local conference held here on Wednesday. The event was part of BTA’s Europe on Balkans: Cohesion Skills project.
“Today I thank BTA for this conference, because this is a chance for our position to remain in history regarding the Euro Readiness Assessment and the adoption of the euro as an important step in the development of Bulgaria and Bulgaria’s participation in this union of equals,” Stoyanova emphasized.
She noted that the topic of today’s conference is how Bulgaria is close to Europe in terms of education, knowledge and culture. Since Bulgaria’s accession to the European Union, local authorities and the state can benefit from European funding to support the development of the regions, she pointed out.
BTA's Europe on Balkans: Cohesion Skills project aims to raise public awareness and foster open dialogue about cohesion policy, local achievements, and the implementation of the EU's policy priorities. The project kicked off with a conference in Veliki Preslav in November 2024. The schedule of conferences until the end of September 2025 includes events in the following cities: Blagoevgrad, Burgas, Varna, Veliko Tarnovo, Vidin, Vratsa, Gabrovo, Dobrich, Kazanlak, Kardzhali, Kyustendil, Lovech, Montana, Pazardzhik, Pernik, Pleven, Razgrad, Ruse, Samokov, Svishtov, Sliven, Smolyan, Sofia, Stara Zagora, Troyan, Targovishte, Haskovo, Shumen, and Yambol. Cross-border conferences will be held in Belgrade, Bosilegrad, Bucharest, Edirne, Skopje, and Thessaloniki. The project builds on the Europe in the Balkans: A Common Future and Europe in Bulgaria: A Common Future projects, implemented by BTA in 2023 and 2024, respectively.
