The 122nd anniversary of the outbreak of the Ilinden-Preobrazhenie uprising will be marked on 2 August in the locality Predela with a flower and wreath laying ritual at the monument Ilinden. Razlog municipality has announced that the ritual will be attended by the honorary consul of the third brigade command – Blagoevgrad. The celebrations will continue in Preobrazhenie square in Razlog in the evening with a concert by Trakia ensemble.
