On a visit to Gabrovo and Tryavna from 12.01. until 14.01.2018 were H.E. Mr. Shpend Kalaba, Ambassador of Kosovo, and Mr. Veselin Koshev. Official meetings were held with Ms. Tanya Hristova, Mayor of Gabrovo Municipality and Ms. Nikolina Nikolova, Deputy. mayor of Tryavna municipality. The talks took place in an extremely friendly and constructive atmosphere. Concrete ideas were identified to expand trade contacts between our two friendly countries, cities from Kosovo will be twinned with Tryavna and Gabrovo, and in February a delegation of local business and management of BSTK and our Association will make an official visit to Kosovo for meetings and talks at highest state level. We sincerely thank the owners of the European textile factory MAK, Mr. Georgi and Dimitar Bizhevi, the beating heart of the Gabrovo municipality, Ms. Desislava Koleva, and the unique Balkan hospitality of our great friend and like-minded person, Mr. Manol Manolov.
