Dear fellow Bulgarians, friends of Bulgaria, colleagues and visitors,

Happy New Year!

I wish you the best of health, prosperity and good luck throughout 2006. As a token of sincere appreciation and gratitude for your unwavering friendship and support, we present you with an improved image of our Embassy’s presence on the Internet!

Every passing minute brings yet another invention in the IT world, which helps us work better and feel more comfortable on line. Having developed our new Web site, we strive to make you feel at home and welcome on our digital soil. Not being able to afford the latest and most advanced top-notch solutions to serve our needs, my colleagues and I rolled up our sleeves and produced a new design of our Web site. We have, indeed, tried hard to live up to your expectations.

The renovated Web site of the Embassy of the Republic of Bulgaria in Washington, D.C. embarks on its mission on January 1^st, 2006. We hope that the new version of the Embassy's Internet presence will be capable of providing news and information in yet better and more effective way. The Web site of the Embassy, both in appearance and content, will be under constant development and improvement in the months to come. Should you have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to contact the Webmaster.

Elena Poptodorova

Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary
