The Bulgarian government approved funding in the amount of up to 1,890,000 leva to ensure activities related to the organization of the 47th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee in the summer of this year. At a cabinet meeting, it was decided that the funds are earmarked for the Ministry of Culture, which will have to coordinate all actions related to the prestigious, but also difficult in terms of organization, event.
We recall that by a decision taken on July 31, 2024, within the framework of the 46th session of UNESCO in Delhi (India), Sofia was chosen to host the 47th session of the organization from July 6 to 16, 2025, and Prof. Nikolay Nenkov was appointed as the Chairman of the World Heritage Committee. His mandate is until the end of the event in the capital of Bulgaria. His vice-chairmen are representatives of the countries of Belgium, Mexico, the Republic of Korea, Zambia and Qatar. Joel Busuana (Rwanda) was appointed rapporteur.
The decision for Bulgaria to undertake this extremely serious commitment was made by the caretaker government of Dimitar Glavchev with a decision of 30 July 2024 and was supported by a declaration of all parliamentary groups in the National Assembly.
