"There are 198 schools in Bulgaria that can be defined as segregated because they teach mostly minority children," said the chairman of the Center for Interethnic Dialogue and Tolerance "Amalipe" Deyan Kolev.

On today's International Roma Day, President Rumen Radev presented diplomas to the winners of the national student contest "I have a dream - to learn and live together".

In his turn, Deyan Kolev stressed that it was the job of the institutions, the civil sector and the local communities to help schools become ethnically mixed and children to grow up together starting from the classrooms.
