The "Bulgarian Memory" Foundation and its chairman Dr. Milen Vrabevski will bear the costs of the reconstruction of the Bulgarian Cultural Centre "Ivan Mihailov" in Bitola after yesterday's fire. 
"Fortunately, there were no casualties after the arson attack, but there was material damage to the façade of the cultural centre, which was inaugurated almost two months ago with a ceremony, again with the financial support of Dr. Vrabevski," the foundation said. 

Repairs costing 20 thousand leva (10 thousand euro) are expected to take about two weeks.
