My name is Nikolay Nikolov. I am currently pursuing a PhD in Politics at University College London, blog for www.banitza.net and, as a journalist, am preoccupied right now
If there is a message that I can pass along after spending almost a month in Bulgaria, it is a message of unity.
Many of the problems in Bulgaria today stem from the corrupt and undemocratic way in which the 1989 transition was carried out. Without recognising this, we cannot hope to change Bulgaria for the better.
What does it mean to become a democratic citizen? Two Bulgarian emigrees interview a student protester in Sofia.
We are on the right path as we see the formation of a new national identity that is fundamentally European; and we know that we all have a part to play, whether at home or abroad.
