Bulgaria marks 115 years from the Ilinden-Preobrazhenie Uprising

Last year, the two Prime Ministers also celebrated the anniversary together, but in Skopje, Macedonia.

The celebrations in Blagoevgrad will begin at 5pm and will be attended by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense - Krasimir Karakachanov, as well as the Macedonian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior - Oliver Spasovski.

It is organised by IMRO (Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization) and will head from the monument to Todor Alexandrov voivoda, will pass through the central streets of the city and will finish at "Macedonia" square.
