The local administration will provide assistance and access for BTA representatives to cover events included in the calendar. This cooperation will facilitate the two-way exchange of information and ensure that news about Petrich’s cultural and public initiatives reaches a broader readership.

The signing of the agreement is part of BTA’s initiative to expand its network of partnerships with Bulgarian municipalities. To date, 15 municipalities have joined the initiative, with Petrich becoming the 16th partner.
