I am surprised and excited of this recognition, expressed his thankfulness for the distinction Prof. Stattev. He outlined that both universities had had common origin and history because in 1920 lecturers and alumni from the Sofia University led by Prof. Stephan Bobchev had found the Free University of Political and Economic Sciences – the predecessor of UNWE. Today we see the fruits of our cooperation and it multiplies our strength, pointed Prof. Stattev.
