''One example of the neglect of cultural and historical heritage by the state is the house of Dimitar Talev in Prilep. In June 2023, the Council of Ministers adopted a decision that the state should purchase this property. So far, nothing has been done’’, Bulgaria’s Vice President Iliana Iotova said at the scientific conference "Cultural Heritage – Art – Museums".

Vice-President Iotova emphasized that the big absentee in the election campaign is the debate on Bulgarian culture. ''Culture laws have been waiting patiently for decades and they are even more important today when, in a global world, we need to uphold our identity and derive confidence from our cultural history", Iliana Iotova said. ''The idea for a Law on the Old Capitals ends with the initial enthusiasm and ambition. It is a paradox that Bulgaria does not participate in the Cyril and Methodius routes, but claims to be the saviour and heir of the work of the Holy Brothers and their disciples'', the Vice President said.
