 On Sunday, 7 February, the Bulgarian Embassy hosted a meeting of the Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov with the Bulgarian community in London.
Many Bulgarian City Club Members attended the meeting and were able to talk to the Prime Minister and members of his delegation. They shared with him plans for various events and initiatives where the cooperation of the Bulgarian authorities will be helpful. These include business promotion and networking, cultural and other events, as well as initiatives to lobby for full working rights of Bulgarians in the UK.
Mr Borisov expressed the readiness of his administration to support and cooperate closely with the Club in realising such ideas and initiatives. We are looking forward to this common effort for the benefit of all Bulgarians in London and the UK.
Many Club Members were also able to meet the new Bulgarian representative at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development Board of Directors, Ms Stefka Slavova, who joins the EBRD after many years as a World Bank economist. Ms Slavova will be a special guest at our next Monthly Gathering, most likely on 26 February. The gathering will be organised jointly with the Bulgarian Society at the London School of Economics, where Ms Slavova completed her PhD in Economics. More details will follow.
Talking about promotion of Bulgarian causes in London, we are glad to note that the 5th Annual Bulgarian Film Festival in London, supported by our Club, enjoyed unprecedented success. Many thanks to all BCC Members and Friends for your continued support for the Bulgarian films and culture!
