Sofia Airport to be renamed "Vasil Levski" Airport.

This is what the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences offers on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the death of the Apostle of Freedom, which we celebrated yesterday.

Our national stadium is "Vasil Levski", one of the metro stations is also "Vasil Levski", now the chairman of the BAS proposes that the airport should also become "Vasil Levski".

With this act, we will all express to the greatest extent our respect for the national hero of Bulgaria, who has contributed immensely to the revival of the Bulgarian spirit and to the liberation of our Motherland.

In addition to being a cosmopolitan person, Apostola was also one of the donors at the founding of the Bulgarian Literary Society in 1869, whose successor is the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, the BAS proposal states.

In order to change the name of the airport, the proposal must also be accepted by the Council of Ministers.

The proposal has already been made, from now on the decision is up to the cabinet.
