“Please accept this as an expression of the gratitude of our society for your unforgettable performances, for the friendship you have shown for this country, for your support for Bulgaria’s young performers,” President Rumen Radev said.

José Carreras on his part said it was a great honour to receive this award in Bulgaria, adding that he had first visited the country in 1990 for the birthday of the great Nikolay Gyaurov, and that through the years he had performed side by side with many Bulgarian artists.
