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.

  • 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.

  • Bulgaria: “Our Footprint in the World”
    BULGARIA: “OUR FOOTPRINT IN THE WORLD” BULGARIA is one of the oldest European countries and is the only one that hasn’t changed its name ever since it was founded. FIRST SLAVIANIC ALPHABET CREATED BY CYRIL AND METHODIEUS The Bulgarians were the first people to use the CYRILLIC alphabet immediately after the inception in the IX century. Today the Cyrillic alphabet is the third official alphabet of the EU. According to the statistics, BULGARIA ranks third in Europe only after Greece and Italy for the number of its valuable archeological monuments. THE OLDEST GOLDEN TREASURE in the world was found in BULGARIA (in 294 graves were discovered more than 3000 golden objects dating back 6000 years.) PROTOTYPE OF THE MODERN COMPUTER The inventor of the first electronic computer “ABC” JOHN VINCENT ATANASOFF is of Bulgarian origin. Professor John Atanasoff together with his student Cliff Berry built the world’s first electronic digital computer at Iowa State University, between 1939 and 1942. An asteroid near to Mars discovered by Bulgarians was named after JOHN ATANASOFF PROTOTYPE OF THE WORLD’S FIRST ELECTRONIC WRISTWATCH In 1971 , the Bulgarian inventor, engineer and scientist PETAR PETROFF presented the prototype of the world's first digital wristwatch, named "Pulsar".
