In an embassy press statement, British ambassador to Bulgaria Steve Williams said: “I am sorry that the BBC World Service will stop broadcasting in Bulgaria on FM radio. Like other listeners, I will miss the high quality, impartial and comprehensive broadcasts.”
According to Bulgarian legislation, only Bulgarian-language programmes are allowed to be broadcast in Bulgaria; following the end of the BBC’s Bulgarian service, the only programs that the BBC had in the country were in English.
