President Georgi Purvanov conferred the Stara Planina, first class, on outgoing US ambassador to Bulgaria Nancy McEldowney. She received the highest Bulgarian state honour for her extraordinary contribution to the development of Bulgarian-US relations.

"Over the 106 years of diplomatic relations, nowadays we are at the top of our relations with the US, not simply because we are strategic partners, allies, but because we have dialogue such as we have never had before," Purvanov said.
