Bessarabian Bulgarians expect greater support from Bulgaria and its president
Published
Bessarabian Bulgarians are descendants of settlers who moved to the southern part of Bessarabia in the 19th century. Today their settlements are located in Ukraine and Moldova. Many of them preserve the Bulgarian language, traditions and church customs, but they live far from the borders of Bulgaria.
Recently the topic has once again become relevant. Representatives of the Bulgarian community in the region say they expect greater attention from the Bulgarian state. According to them, the most important things are education in the Bulgarian language, the maintenance of cultural institutions and opportunities for connection with the homeland. Some of them also mention issues related to documents and the right to Bulgarian citizenship.
Particular attention is paid to the role of the head of state. The Bulgarian president is expected to support dialogue between the Bulgarian state and communities abroad. However, specific proposals and measures are still being discussed, and the public positions of the various sides remain different.
For Bessarabian Bulgarians, the question of preserving Bulgarian identity remains important. Their future depends on how much schools, cultural activities and ties with Bulgaria will develop in the coming years.
