On the occasion of the 85th anniversary of the first broadcasts of the Bulgarian National Radio abroad their successor - "Radio Bulgaria" launched a quiz with questions about Bulgarian culture and history.
In its first edition we asked you: "Which historical event do you associate Bulgaria’s National Day – March 3 with?"
By 15:00 on April 16, the majority of voters (51% ) correctly marked that this was the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878 that brought freedom to the Bulgarian people and marked the beginning of the Third Bulgarian state. Only the Albanian-speaking users of our site found the question a bit more difficult and chose "The Declaration of Bulgarian Independence in 1908". In fact, this same answer was a reason for hesitation among Radio Bulgaria’s friends speaking Spanish, English, German and Russian.

We thank you for your responsiveness and invite you to take part in our next quiz, which will soon be available on the website of Radio Bulgaria.
