Ambassador Ilashchuk thanked for the opportunity given to young Ukrainian citizens to study at Bulgarian universities in the same way as Bulgarian students.There are currently 400 places available for Ukrainian students with temporary protection status, who have completed high school in Bulgaria and wish to continue their higher education in this country. Ambassador Ilashchuk noted that efforts are being made for the quicker approval by Kyiv of two agreements proposed by Bulgaria- on cooperation and exchange between the education ministries of the two countries, and on the Georgi Sava Rakovski Bolhrad High School.
