“Shipka is also a symbol of the battle all Bulgarians, regardless of age, ethnicity or religion, lead deep in their hearts”, said Bulgaria’s President Rumen Radev, who attended the celebrations on Shipka Peak. “This is a battle between fear and bravery, between cowardice and valor, between egoism and patriotism, which shapes our personal and national future”, added this country’s head of state Radev in his speech. President Radev voiced cofidence that “Bulgarians shall win the battle against fear through joint efforts and solidarity, so that Bulgaria can prosper”.
