On September 17, the official opening of the Bureau for Information and Services for Foreign Citizens took place – a joint initiative of the Sofia Development Association, the Bulgarian Red Cross, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and „Vazrazhdane” Markets.

The Bureau will provide better conditions for easier access for third-country nationals to services provided by NGOs in Sofia and Sofia Municipality. Third country nationals will be able to receive information on trainings, programs and events and will be able to organize their own cultural events.

The Bulgarian Council on Refugees and Migrants supports the establishment and operation of the Bureau as part of its strategic efforts to support municipalities for the integration of refugees and expand opportunities for local development in Bulgaria.

The Information  Bureau for Foreign Citizens is located at 111, Hristo Botev Blvd., Sofia.
