Bulgaria Today - 09 July 2026

Welcome to Bulgaria Today, Radio Bulgaria’s podcast, on July 9 with host Rositsa Petkova and sound engineer Denitsa Diamandieva.

In today's edition, we'll bring you the latest headlines from Bulgaria, from key decisions in Brussels and new developments in the country's energy and defence sectors, to the opening of one of Sofia's most beloved summer cultural events.

Then we'll head across the Atlantic to Argentina, where the remarkable story of Bulgaria's southernmost diaspora community is being brought back to life through the work of researcher Dr. Sonia Ivanoff, who has spent decades tracing the memories, photographs and family histories of Bulgarian emigrants in Patagonia.

And, of course, we'll end the programme with a musical treat from the rich repertoire of the Bulgarian National Radio Folk Music Orchestra.

Have an enjoyable listen!
