DEAR LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, 

 Those of you who have never visited the Region of Kardzhali will have the chance to glimpse at it online and get acquainted with a fraction of its beauties and opportunities, while those of you who have already been our guests will hopefully recall a pleasant experience. 

 The Kardzhali area is tucked away in the heart of the Eastern Rodopi. It was the cradle of an ancient and rich history. The striking archeological finds that have recently been made demonstrate that the region's significance dates far back to ancient times. 

 The regionalso boasts some natural phenomena which seem to have been created to impress us human beings. Kardzhali hasn't just got a rich history and a beautiful countryside, but also a substantial infrastructure; it has its traditions in industrial production and in agriculture. 

 Last but not least, Kardzhali has its intelligent, qualified, enterprising people, who are its greatest asset and its most serious guarantee for a bright future. We, the dwellers of Kardzhali and hosts of the Eastern Rodopi , have often given lessons in genuine tolerance and mutual respect to our whole nation. Here in Kardzhali, Levski's legacy of living in equality without ethnic or religious differences and without a difference in customs hindering our interaction acquires a truly contemporary meaning. 

 As a regiongovernor, I believe that Kardzhali has its promising future and can become the place where good news comes from.
