The association’s activities are aimed at affirming the national identity of Bulgarians and their families in Slovakia, preserving Bulgarian folk customs and folklore traditions and passing them on to future generations. The official printed organ of the Bulgarian Cultural Union is the bilingual magazine “Sanarodnik”, published four times a year.
