President Rumen Radev will host the traditional Iftar dinner on the occasion of the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan for Muslims. Representatives of the Muslim community, other basic denominations, diplomats, public figures and figures from the spheres of culture, education and science have been invited to attend the Iftar dinner.
