President and Prime Minister address the nation on Independence Day

“Independence can only be attained with responsible leadership, with the unity of the entire nation, with patience and rationality,” goes the address of Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev on the occasion of 22 September, Independence Day. The Bulgarian head of state emphasized that deep inside Bulgarian statehood lie virtues like dignity, duty, patriotism. “None of them are for sale and none can be bought,” the Bulgarian President said.

“The proclamation of the independence of Bulgaria showed how the Bulgarian nation is capable of accomplishing a long and difficult undertaking that requires social unity, political accord in the country and skillful diplomacy. A nation can be appraised by the events it is proud of. The fact that the whole of Bulgaria acclaims the audacity of the perceptive builders of our modern state, gives me faith in the future of our country,” said Prime Minister Boyko Borissov in his address.
