"Today we bow our heads to the feat of the thousands of Bulgarians with big hearts and dreams of freedom, who 146 years ago - in the glorious April of 1876, rebelled against the Ottoman rule."

This was written by Prime Minister Kiril Petkov on Facebook on the occasion of the anniversary of the April Uprising.

On April 20, 1876, the April Uprising broke out in Koprivshtitsa, thanks to which Bulgaria appeared on the map of Europe.

The decision to launch the uprising was taken by the Giurgiu Revolutionary Committee, the Bulgarian lands were divided into 5 revolutionary districts - the first Tarnovo, the second Sliven, the third Vratsa, the fourth Plovdiv and the fifth Sofia.

Since Sunday, the movement on Orlov Most in Sofia has been restored. The repair of the key metropolitan junction lasted for two weeks. The road lanes in both directions of Tsarigradsko shose are completely renewed and reinforced with a steel net. The aim is to avoid folding like that of 10 years ago and the formation of tracks.
