Most of you, too, have a position on whether Bulgaria and Romania's EU entry will be delayed by a year. Neither I, nor any other journalist can answer this question definitively at this time (for details, see Yuliana Boncheva's article on p. 22.) NATO and the European Union have been subjects of numerous articles in our publica- tion, among others. So I would rather switch your attention toward another topic now. Namely, it is the story by Chris Warde-Jones in the New York Times on Sofia as a tourist destination, which was published in the newspaper of record in early May. (We present it for you on p. 44.) This travel feature offers a refreshing view of the Bulgarian capital, written by someone who was impressed by images of the city that are, generally speaking, flattering. We, the denizens of Sofia, run our cars into terrible potholes, cross to the other side of the street to avoid stinking trash containers, stress out over our businesses, and overall have little time to dwell on the niceties of our home city. I suggest you read this New York Times story in lieu of a little excursion to Sofia - a trip that business-fixated citizens have not time or inclination to take otherwise. You will be reminded, for instance, that in the capital's center less than 500 meters separate an Eastern Orthodox church, a mosque and a synagogue. You will also realize that Sofia is considered by many visitors to be a green city with a distinct character and pleasant ambiance. It is truly important to appreciate the fact that such an influential publication has taken 2006 May Magazine AmCham Bulgaria the stand that Sofia is a place to be seen in person by the sophisticated traveler. I recently watched a CNN story by Richard Quest about real estate investment in Bulgaria's winter resorts, which was also full of praise for our country. Two authoritative media outlets have shown Bulgaria in positive light within a short period of time. This makes me wonder whether our pessimistic attitudes are not, in fact, too glum? Are we sweating the small stuff too much? Of course, poor infrastructure and high taxes are page not exactly small stuff, but still, aren't we forgetting to look at the big picture in Bulgaria? 1 The New York Times, CNN and NATO's foreign ministers saw the positives in our city and country. When are we going to notice them as well? Yours truly, Milen Marchev Editor-in-Chief contents issue 68 april 2006 AmCham Bulgaria Magazine is a primary forum for political and economic analyses, news, viewpoints as well as for the presentation of new business oppor- tunities.

  • Traditional Bulgarian Cooking Free
    FREE TRADITIONAL BULGARIAN COOKING PDF Silvia Vangelova Zheleva | 78 pages | 22 Dec 2015 | Createspace Independent Publishing Platform | 9781519718792 | English | United States Bulgarian Food: 18 Traditional & Tasty Dishes • A Little Nomad BulgariaWhere to Eat. If Bulgaria has a national dish, it is certainly shopska salad, the queen of all Bulgarian food. This Bulgarian dish is simple and best eaten in the height of summer, when tomatoes are at their very best. It is somewhat similar to a Greek salad but the ingredients and preparation are slightly different. A true shopska salad is made of roughly chopped fresh summer tomatoes and cucumbers, plus sweet green peppers and red or green onions with a truckload of finely grated sirene cheese a local Bulgarian feta and some parsley on top. This coats each bite of salad with delicious, salty cheese — just how it should be. Fun fact: the salad is the same colors of the Bulgarian flag! Funner fact: It is often served with a shot of rakia at the beginning of a meal, which is how I think all future salads should be consumed, tbh. Banitsa is a traditional breakfast pastry or anytime snack. It is similar to borek which is found in other Balkan countries but the filling is a little different and so is the shape of Traditional Bulgarian Cooking pastry. Made of a phyllo dough brushed with butter, inside it houses a blend of Bulgarian dairy deliciousness. Local Traditional Bulgarian Cooking, sirene cheese, and eggs are all mixed together and baked in their phyllo house, rolled into a snail-like coil which is then served in slices.

  • Eric Johnson
    ERIC JOHNSON The guitar has been very good to Eric Johnson, earning him international renown as a player, composer, recording artist and live entertainer as well as an ever-growing audience of admirers. And Eric Johnson has been very good to the guitar, spotlighting its myriad melodic, sonic and lyrical splendors, paying homage to its heroes and innovators, collaborating and playing with many of its finest contemporary talents, and fostering its continuing vibrancy as a primarily instrumental genre in popular music. “He's an extraordinary guitar player accessible to ordinary music fans,” notes the Memphis Commercial Appeal. That’s because Eric Johnson plays music and not just the guitar. He is also a gifted player of the piano (his first instrument) as well as songwriter, singer and song interpreter. Or more succinctly, Eric Johnson is a diverse, versatile and fully realized musical creator who plays guitar like no one else The pivotal event in Johnson's rise to becoming, as Guitar Player says, “one of the most respected guitarists on the planet," was his million-selling, now-classic 1990 album Ah Via Musicom (which loosely translates as "communicating through music"). It was his second release, following Tones, his 1986 major label debut. Musicom yielded three Top 10 singles – "Cliffs of Dover," which has become Johnson's signature song and won a Best Rock Instrumental Grammy, and "Trademark" and "Righteous." It made him the first artist to ever score three Top 10 instrumentals. Now, 28 years later, he revisits that landmark recording with a 2018 tour on which he will play the album – hailed as a "masterwork" in Amazon.com's review – in its entirety.

I am almost certain that you would not have noticed this absence, had I not mentioned it, and the reason is that the elections went by in a completely predictable fashion. Boyko Borisov, the leader of the newly formed GERB party, won in Sofia, and his associates took Plovdiv, Bourgas, Vidin, Dobrich, Stara Zagora, Yambol and Sliven. The ruling BSP got only Blagoevgrad, Varna, Lovech, Pernik and Smolian. The "democratic forces" - or what remains of them - got a mayor in Pleven only. In other words, a little over one-third of Bulgarian voters went to the polls and gave almost the entire local power to the former secretary of the Ministry of the Interior. Boyko Borisov himself - or "the General" as he is known for some reason - immediately declared that this is a harbinger of early parliamentary elections. We at AmCham Bulgaria Magazine think that the former policeman should be left to rule in Sofia, the former soccer star Yordan Lechkov, and all their GERB colleagues - where voters put them.
