"Dear women and mothers, be happy, loved and appreciated, and continue to be our support and inspiration!,  Bulgaria’s President Rumen Radev wrote on Facebook on the occasion of the International Women's Day.

National Assembly Speaker Rosen Zhelyazkov also greeted the ladies with the words: "Accept our appreciation and gratitude for being the more beautiful and better half of the human race!"
