Sofia has not only the potential but also all the advantages
to become the successful cultural capital of Europe in 2019.
The city has a unique cultural and historical heritage which
we are revealing now and showing it both to the citizens of Sofia and all its visitors.
This heritage is actually part of the cultural history of Europe.
Sofia has also the potential to show its modernity.
It is very important to note that the "Cultural Capital of Europe" is citizens' initiative.
I think Sofia has not only the potential, but we are also ready to defend this candidacy -
we have the support of many serious and influential figures
from the field of culture and the field of science, education, sports, politics -
because we want to make this task and this objective
a common cause of our city, of all citizens,
so that our city can progress, of course.
