it still more beautiful. I thank all participants for being a part of this
cause and for decorating their homes and administrative buildings with warmth
and love. I believe that our joint efforts are the foundation to make our city
beautiful not only at Christmas, but to make
it more and more beautiful every single
day, and when we join our efforts in
this cause, I believe we will succeed. Thank you! I wish you good health and
happiness!"

management and the team of the University for the job well done and for the
everyday efforts for the development and prosperity of MU-Varna, "I
personally have witnessed the way Hristina checks every single detail. And the
merit for this award goes entirely to her and to all people who have been working
together with her all the year round." When the journalists asked whether
the content and the form really mattered, she replied, "The form is of
particular importance. Anything that does not meet certain standards is doomed
to ruin, regardless of its content. So, that is why we take care of both."

that year there would be plenty of new projects and surprises that would fascinate
the visitors to the University and all Varna citizens.
"Our decoration has been created
for 5 years, constantly brought up-to-date and appreciated by the students,
which is in fact our ultimate goal. It has been done with a great desire, a lot
of efforts and enthusiasm. Every year we take into consideration the new trends
in lighting, trying to build it up and to make it more and more attractive not
only to the students, but also to all visitors, guests and people from Varna. I
am absolutely sure that teamwork is the best way to achieve and succeed in
anything. In the future I hope we will work in the same way with the same awesome
people," she said.
