It is my pleasure to welcome the President of the European People's Party Manfred Weber in one of the emblems of Old Plovdiv - Balaban House. The house-museum was built in the 19th century, and today it is one of the symbols of the cultural life of the city. Our host is Kostadin Dimitrov - the mayor of Plovdiv, Borisov also wrote.
