A total of 103 000 Bulgarians, 10 per cent of whom were expatriates, have voted so far in a national campaign to select their favourite Bulgarian symbols, Violeta Ivanova, chair of the Bulgarian Association for Business and Tourist Information BABTI, told a round table. The campaign, organised by BABTI and launched in April 2007, aims to select the most characteristic symbols to identify Bulgaria abroad. Bulgarian News Agency BTA is the media partner of the campaign. Foreign Minister Ivailo Kalfin told the participants in the roundtable that Bulgarias culture, history and modern achievements have brought new prestige and character to the European Union. Kalfin said that opinions of Bulgaria were largely formed by visiting tourists. He said that 74 per cent of tourists, or 3.4 million people, who visited Bulgaria last year were from EU member states.
