The state should provide support to religious denominations in Bulgaria, as well as adequate funding for their activities. This was what President Rumen Radev said at a meeting with Chief Mufti Mustafa Hadji.

According to the President, in order to prevent attempts for external interference and influence, it was necessary for the state to provide support for paying the salaries of religious officials and their education in Bulgaria.

President Rumen Radev pointed out that the Muslim faith should not only receive adequate funding from the state, but should also develop on the basis of its own traditions.
