Posters with the rules on how to transliterate Bulgarian Cyrillic names in Latin characters would be hung in all Bulgarian schools, Bulgarian News Agency BTA reported.
The initiative is in the framework of the State Administration Ministry information campaign. It was presented on December 11 by Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister Daniel Vulchev and State Administration Minister Nikolai Vassilev to students and teachers from Sofia's Nikola Vaptsarov professional mechanical electrical engineering high school.
Posters with the transliteration rules would be hung in buildings of all regional and municipal administrations in the country. 30 000 information fold-outs would be distributed in administrations and universities. Another 10 000 fold-outs in English would be distributed among EU institutions and member states, BTA said.
As part of the campaign since last week special calendars have been distributed in 6 cities in Bulgaria - Sofia, Varna, Plovdiv, Bourgas, Stara Zagora and Veliko Turnovo, BTA said.
