"With over 20 years of activity, the Institute has proven a not very popular truth – if we rely on the legacy of our predecessors, with small, quiet, and well-ordered steps, we can create a great history."

"I have a strong and long-standing connection with the Bulgarian Diplomatic Institute (BDI). As a student, I won several BDI essay competitions, which took me to Geneva and Brussels. This opened my eyes to the world of diplomacy, which I chose as the career of my life. Today, as a young diplomat, I can say that the Institute helped me make the right professional choice for myself."

"Working with the Bulgarian Diplomatic Institute is a tremendous privilege—despite my many years of experience in administration, I am always genuinely impressed by the innovative approaches used, combined with the search for solutions that are appropriate to the realities."

"The establishment of the Bulgarian Diplomatic Institute in 2003 was a unique event. For the first time in the history of the Bulgarian diplomatic service, it had its own school for training civil servants working to implement the country's foreign policy."

"Over the past two decades, the Bulgarian Diplomatic Institute has established itself as an undisputed hub for training, public, and research activities of national and regional significance. With their vision, consistency, and ambition, its dedicated leaders and team of professionals fully embody the high standards that the Institute has set for itself over the years."
