On 18 June, under the motto "Proud to be", Sofia Pride will hold a march and concert for the 15th time in support of the LGBTI community. Part of the donations will go to Kiev Pride.

For the first time, a Pride information center is opening in the capital, where any visitor will be able to receive information about upcoming events, organizer Simeon Vassilev said.

He invited citizens to turn up at the event, even if they were afraid because of provocations by far-right organizations.

"People will see a different Bulgaria - of the young, colourful people, happy to be part of a community," he said. Among those supporting the event is the U.S. Embassy in Bulgaria.
