I especially enjoyed the reports introducing Bulgaria's history, culture, traditions, tourism, and current affairs. The programs provide listeners around the world with a wonderful opportunity to learn about Bulgaria, its people, and its rich cultural heritage. I also appreciated the international news and features covering developments from different parts of the world. The combination of local Bulgarian stories and global perspectives makes your English Service unique and highly valuable.

The presenters spoke with excellent pronunciation and a pleasant style, making the program easy to follow for international listeners. The pace of presentation was comfortable, and the production quality was professional. The background music, station identification, and transitions between program segments were smooth and enjoyable.

I particularly admire the effort your station makes to promote friendship and understanding between nations through radio broadcasting. Your programs encourage cultural exchange and provide reliable information for listeners across the globe. It is always interesting to hear about Bulgarian festivals, historical landmarks, music, arts, education, and everyday life. These features help listeners like me gain a better understanding of your beautiful country.

As an international radio listener, I believe Bulgarian National Radio continues the proud tradition of public broadcasting by offering educational, cultural, and informative programming. Your English Service reflects high journalistic standards and demonstrates your commitment to serving a worldwide audience.

I would like to congratulate everyone involved in producing the English broadcasts, including the editors, presenters, engineers, and technical staff. Their dedication is clearly reflected in the excellent quality of every program''. Malik Allah Bachaya khokhar, Pakistan.

“I continue to listen to Radio Bulgaria’s programs with great pleasure and interest”, Konstantin Pravotorov, Ukraine.

“What a pleasure it is to travel by train through different parts of Bulgaria! The experiences are indescribable. I had the opportunity to travel with my family on this incredibly romantic and unforgettable train during our holiday in Velingrad—the Rhodope narrow-gauge railway. It was an experience that has left a lasting memory in my life.During the train journey, such beautiful natural landscapes unfold before you that we were truly amazed. From 1992 to 2006, I spent my summer holidays in the city of Burgas. Since Lake Atanasovsko was nearby, I visited this beautiful lake, close to the beach in Burgas, almost every day.How wonderful that Eurovision will be held in Burgas! I was very happy because it deserves it. Anyone who visits the city during Eurovision 2027 will be enchanted. Burgas is the heart of Bulgaria”. Fadil Ribari, Kosovo
