On occasion of 24th May, Day of the Bulgarian Education and Culture, the 42nd National Assembly President Mihail Mikov has sent greeting cards to all school principals in the country and abroad.

“Today we pay respect to the work of the holy brothers St. St. Cyril and Methodius, who created our alphabet, as well as to all their disciples for their efforts and sacrifices dedicated to the noble cause of preserving and affirming the spirit of Bulgaria, to enrich our culture and develop our education. Their work has given us a lot – a tool of our own to read and write, as well as an identity of our own, a desire for enlightenment and learning, a sense of pride and belonging to the Bulgarian nation, the self-satisfaction of being able to write and create using our proper alphabet.

Mihail Mikov wishes them to never lose this sense of pride and self-confidence. “On the base of the great deeds of our Bulgarian enlighteners let us take a look upon the day of tomorrow with optimism! Let’s not stop transferring the sparkle of enlightenment to our children! The stronger it glows, the stronger will be the gratitude of the generations to come, for Bulgaria to last for ever”, continues the president of the National Assembly.
