The solemn ceremony in front of the Monument to the Apostle of Freedom will begin at 6:00 p.m. Citizens will have access to the security zone from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. through three checkpoints, the National Guard announced. 
The National Guard will place an honorary guard in front of the monument throughout the day. From 11:00 a.m., the Representative Military Brass Band of the Land Forces will participate in a ritual in front of the Levski monument in the capital's Gorublyane district.
