"Bulgaria is everywhere where Bulgarian is spoken, where there are Bulgarian associations and Bulgarian schools that preserve and develop the Bulgarian language and culture'', Vice President Iliana Iotova told the Bulgarian community in Barcelona. She emphasized that both she and President Rumen Radev do not differentiate between Bulgarians living in Bulgaria and those abroad. “This has been our policy for seven years”, noted Iliana Iotova.

“We want to create all the conditions to preserve Bulgarian identity, to protect the Bulgarian language and to give Bulgarians abroad confidence because they are the bearers of a long and rich history and culture'', Vice President Iotova added.

According to Iliana Iotova, the system of Bulgarian Sunday schools is one of the most successful policies of the Bulgarian State for Bulgarians abroad. The Bulgarian language is fundamental for the preservation of Bulgarian self-awareness. Take time to tell your children about Bulgaria in Bulgarian", Vice President Iotova told parents.

Iliana Iotova celebrated the Unification Day together with the Bulgarian community in Barcelona.
