Bulgaria’s President Rossen Plevneliev admitted that he was surprised by the decision of the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew to demand from the state to return church relics to Greece. The demand was made during the official ceremony when Bartholomew was bestowed with the highest order- Stara Planina Order-First Degree.
