Bulgaria’s national flag was hoisted in front of the building of the Presidency in Sofia in a solemn ceremony dedicated to the Day of the National Revival Leaders, November 1, (also called National Enlighteners Day).

The day is devoted to enlighteners, bookmen and fighters for national liberation who preserved the spiritual values of the nation over the centuries.

On that day, Bulgarians pay tribute to those involved in teaching, studying culture or scientific work.

The head of state and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, President Rumen Radev, greeted the National Guard of Honour.
