At a special reception in Ruse hosted by the British Embassy Sofia, Ambassador Nathaniel Copsey addressed representatives of local authorities, businesses, the media, and the British community. In his speech, delivered in Bulgarian, he paid tribute to the proud past and dynamic present of Ruse — from the “Little Vienna” to its modern role as a centre of innovation, trade, and culture.
The Ambassador reaffirmed the United Kingdom’s commitment to working with Ruse — not only in business, but also in supporting local communities, celebrating shared heritage, and building lasting partnerships.
Plamena Gagova, the BBCC’s Regional Ambassador in Ruse, also helped with organising the reception and continues to foster closer collaboration between local businesses and the wider UK–Bulgaria community.
