President Radev wished him health, longevity and prosperous days at the head of the Bulgarian Church.

Caretaker Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev, who also attended the enthronement of Patriarch Daniil, said: "Believers need a patriarch who will be a unifier, as was His Holiness Neophyte, God rest his soul''.''The state should not interfere in the church affairs", Dimitar Glavchev went on to say.
