The former Prime Minister of Bulgaria, Boyko Borisov, congratulated Botev for the success in the Europa League - the elimination of Maribor and the qualification for the second qualifying round of the tournament. The leader of GERB recalled that during the administration of his party funds were allocated for the stadiums in Plovdiv.
"We allocated funds for the stadiums in Plovdiv. Didn't you enjoy Botev eliminating Maribor? If it weren't for us, they would still be kicking in the meadow. What GERB has done, no one has done," Boyko Borisov addressed the people of Plovdiv.
