President Iliana Iotova, National Assembly Chair Mihaela Dotsova, Culture Minister Evtim Miloshev, and prominent figures from Bulgaria’s cultural and political circles paid their respects to sculptor Vejdi Rashidov at the National Theatre on Thursday.
Rashidov died on November 6 following a short illness. His funeral will be held in a private family ceremony.
Former president Rosen Plevneliev described Rashidov as one of Bulgaria’s greatest sculptors and a figure who significantly contributed to Bulgarian culture and the country’s international reputation. He recalled their visit to Rashidov’s exhibition at the Rodin Museum in Paris, saying the artist had brought Bulgarian culture to a higher level.
Former president Georgi Parvanov remembered Rashidov as a great Bulgarian artist, patriot and close friend. He highlighted his contributions both as a cultural figure and as Minister of Culture, particularly his commitment to preserving Bulgaria’s historic heritage.
Actress Kristina Belcheva described Rashidov as an exceptional friend and an honest, dignified person. She recalled his words: “My homeland is where the graves of my mother and father are.”
Among those attending the tribute were Deputy Prime Minister Ivo Hristov, diplomats, MPs, cultural institution directors, academics and representatives of Bulgaria’s artistic community.
