The first EU Songbook has been released, featuring six songs from each of the 27 EU member countries, reports BTA. The project, a non-profit Danish initiative, has no financial ties to the EU, according to the organizers from the European Union Songbook Association, responsible for its creation. 

The song selection was curated by members of 17 music academies from 14 EU countries. Over 100 music organizations and conservatories participated in creating the EU Songbook. A public vote on the selected songs involved over 87,000 citizens from all EU countries.

Bulgarian singers from various choirs, music students, and teachers from the Music Academy and the Academy of Music, Dance, and Fine Arts in Plovdiv proposed 56 Bulgarian songs. 

In the Love Songs category, the EU Songbook includes The World is for Two (Svetat e za dvama). 

For the Nature and Seasons category, You Are Lovely, My Forest (Hubava si, moya goro) was selected, and in the Folk Songs category, the classic folk song Izlel e Delyo Haydutin (Izlel e Delyu Haidutin) was chosen. 

The categories Freedom and Peace and Songs of Faith will introduce Europeans to the timeless Bulgarian songs A Bulgarian Rose (Edna balgarska roza) and If You Have Given (Ako si dal). 

Among children's songs, My Childhood (Detstvo moe) was selected.
