Welcome to Bulgaria Today, the English-language podcast of Radio Bulgaria, on July 22 hosted by Rositsa Petkova.

In today's edition, we bring you the latest developments surrounding the decision to station U.S. aerial refuelling aircraft at Bezmer Air Base, the Bulgarian government's assurances that no military operations in the Middle East will be launched from Bulgarian territory, and the reaction of local authorities in the Yambol region. Other top news talk about a drifting drone neutralized in the Black Sea and the impact of critically low water levels on navigation along the Danube.

Later in the programme, we travel to the northwestern village of Salash, where history, tradition and hope for the future meet on Bulgaria's border with Serbia.

At the end, we offer you a vibrant piece from the Bulgarian National Radio Folk Orchestra.
