Your mandate will be successful if you pay big attention to the aspirations of the Bulgarian citizens, Bulgaria’s Patriarch Neophyte told the country’s new head of state Rumen Radev. Patriarch Neophyte gave his blessings to President Radev and held a service on occasion of President Radev’s inauguration. Dear President Radev, today we are part of a historical moment- the newly-elected President and Commander-in-Chief of the Bulgarian Armed Forces assumes office and occupies the highest position in the country, Patriarch Neophyte said. We prayed to God to give power and wisdom to the new President during his forthcoming mandate. Each authority comes with high responsibility, Neophyte went on to say. Today, God laid big responsibility on your shoulders in difficult and complicated times. You will need God’s help and support more than ever to fulfill successfully your duties, Patriarch Neophyte told President Radev. Neophyte gave Rumen Radev an icon of Jesus Christ and wished him good luck.
