In 2020 Radio Bulgaria has strengthened its contacts with Bulgarians living abroad. We found out that no matter how far away they live, they all hold Bulgaria deep in their hearts. These people are mainly connected with their homeland by the holidays and traditions typical for every Bulgarian home. Bulgaria is where our people gather - in small restaurants and cafes, or in bookstores where books in Bulgarian can be found. The longer they lived abroad, the stronger the excitement that fills their souls when they hear a Bulgarian speech.
