Ambassador Željko Jović visited the 102 Elementary School "Panayot Volov" in Sofia, where the Serbian language has been introduced as a subject starting this year.

The study of the Serbian language at the school "Panajatov Volov" will be conducted according to the national program "Activities according to interests", of the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Bulgaria, and within the club "Slovenian languages", in which two other Slavic languages are studied. Currently, the Serbian language group is attended by 12 sixth grade students of this school.

Ambassador Jović expressed his gratitude for the initiative launched by this school, with the aim of expanding the study of Slavic languages, including Serbian language. During the meeting, Ambassador Jović emphasized the readiness of the Serbian side to provide support to the school in  regards to the development of education of Serbian language, by delivering the necessary textbooks and other scientific aids, which would be used during the studying period. Also, the possibility of organizing a student exchange program for the next year was considered, where pupils from Sofia would stay in Dimitrovgrad in order to improve their Serbian language, and in return the students from Dimitrovgrad would come to Sofia to learn Bulgarian language.
