''Today we honor Saint George the Victorious. I wish everyone who carries the name of the Saint and Christian martyr, health, long life, joy and humility,'' stated Bulgarian PM Boyko Borisov following the national celebrations of St George's Day and the official holiday of the Bulgarian army. ''May Saint George keep us safe, protected and grounded.

We are celebrating some of the most valuable qualities today – bravery and nobility, so let us all bow our heads in honor of the holiday of the Bulgarian army in order to commemorate all the noble Bulgarian soldiers that have sacrificed their lives for our country.

I would like to greet everyone who chose to dedicate their lives to the Bulgarian army, all their families, their mothers and fathers. We all need to be proud of the professionalism and readiness of our military officers because they are demonstrating character and bravery in support of international peace and disaster alleviation.

Stay happy and healthy! Happy holiday!''
