Bulgaria’s President Georgi Parvanov vowed to support Sofia’s bid for the 2014 Winter Olympic Games at a meeting with Sports’ Agency Chief Vessela Lecheva and Stefka Kostadinova, chairwoman of the Bulgarian Olympic Committee.
Parvanov will be sending a letter to International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Jacque Rogge indicating his support for Sofia’s 2014 bid.
Kastadinova explained that Sofia is a bit late in promoting itself as a good Olympic host “therefore we should launch an active campaign”.
The two sports chiefs will be meeting with government officials asking for their support.
This is Bulgaria’s third bid to host an Olympic Games. It had failed bids in 1992 and 1994.
