PMs unveil monument to Bulgarian revolutionary

"We have not always been smart in history, but today, I want your and our children never to go to war against each other again,” the Serbian prime minister said, calling for holding a joint meeting of the two governments to discuss, inter alia, cross-border cooperation between Serbia and Bulgaria.

He pledged the Serbian government will work together with the Bulgarian National Council to resolve issues facing the Bulgarian minority in Serbia.

Dačić pointed to the high unemployment rate and poverty in this part of the country, observing that wages here are far below the national average.

Plamen Oresharski also called for good neighborly relations and a future in Europe for both countries.

Before the unveiling ceremony, Dimitrovgrad Mayor Nebojša Ivanov received the two prime ministers in the town hall.

Prior to the speech given by the two premiers, students from a Dimitrovgrad high school performed a recital in memory of Vasil Levski.

Levski was born in 1837 and was executed in 1873 for fighting against Ottoman Turkish rule in Bulgaria.

He spent part of his life in Serbia, organizing two Bulgarian legions and other revolutionary groups to fight the Turks.
