In Moscow, in the Embassy of the Republic of Bulgaria was issued the 100 000th visa for the year of 2014. It was received by the two-year old Russian citizen Oxana Shishkina, a resident of Moscow. The visa was given by our ambassador Boyko Kotzev to her mother – Elena Shishkina. According to a long established tradition of partnership between the Embassy of Bulgaria, the MEE and tour operator companies, Shishkin family received as a special gift – a week-long holiday in hotel Doubletree by Hilton in Golden Sands resort. As an additional reward the sending tour operator Transaero Tours will give a free air ticket to the little Oksana and the receiving tour operator KITT will provide free shuttle service on the territory of Bulgaria for her and her family.
