What made you leave your homeland?

I left my country because of the war, the only reason was finding a safe place.

Why did you choose Bulgaria?

My family and I came to Bulgaria because my father studied here 30 years ago, he knows the language and has friends here, he thought it was better to go somewhere familiar.

What do borders mean to you?

I do not recognize borders, because borders are a restriction on freedom… freedom of movement, freedom of expression, freedom of creativity, but I hope that people will adhere to the borders and limits of courtesy and civility, and respect the right of others to express themselves and their right to a decent life.

How do you want people who don’t know you to perceive you?

Peaceful, passionate and persistent person.
