"Only united will we preserve Bulgaria in the global turmoil. That bright Bulgaria of Levski, which relies on its own strength. The ancient Bulgaria that feels equal to the European nations. That fraternal Bulgaria of free people, which has defended its place in imperial battles for a century and a half", President Radev said at the commemorative ceremony marking 152 years since the death of the Apostle of Freedom Vasil Levski, and called for wisdom and unity.

"We live in the divide between the old and the new world. The world, Europe and even mankind are transforming before our eyes", Rumen Radev said, adding that the Apostle again points to a way out of this ordeal and ''it is in our united strength, against which even the strongest force cannot stand'', said President Radev.
