Karadjov described the stamp as a “tiny monument” that preserves Bulgarian culture and language for generations. Valchev highlighted that postage stamps, while originally a proof of payment, have become symbols of significant events. The new stamp features an image by Lyudmil Veselinov, depicting the holy brothers at Klisurski Monastery, underscoring Bulgaria’s contribution of the Cyrillic alphabet to the EU.

The stamp, with a face value of BGN 0.95, carries the meeting’s theme, “Media and Knowledge,” along with BTA’s logo.
