Bulgarian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Tourism Mariana Nikolova has presented an award to the oldest skier in Bulgaria - 96-year-old Ivan Raev from the town of Chepelare in the Rhodopes, the ministry reported. Minister Nikolova presented him with a diploma for exceptional merits in the development of tourism and a statuette of the symbol of this country - the Bulgarian rose.
