The ceremony was attended by Bulgaria’s President Roumen Radev, MPs, ministers, the mayor of Sofia and many others, among them relatives of Levski - Hristina Bogdanova.

In his speech, President Radev said "let this monument be a sign of the coming generations that where there is Bulgarian spirit and patriotism, Levski will live on."

Vasil Levski is regarded as the Apostle of Freedom for having played a large role in the liberation of Bulgaria from Ottoman rule. He ideologized and strategized the revolutionary movement, triggering a nationwide uprising through a network of secret regional committees.
