Nine media outlets released in the Bulgarian language will receive financing from Serbia which will be three times the size of the current one, or 535 thousand euro.

The news came from Bulgarian President Rumen Radev who gave a briefing jointly with his Serbian counterpart Aleksandar Vucic after the two presidents met with the Bulgarian national minority in Dimitrovgrad, Serbia.

Regarding education in the Bulgarian language Radev remarked that for the first time in 30 years, in 2017, all textbooks in Bulgarian for primary school were published.

Rumen Radev however voiced serious concern over the depopulation of villages of ethnic Bulgarians in Serbia. He specified that a plan had been drafted and that the infrastructure in the eastern parts of Serbia close to the Bulgarian border continued to develop.
