The status of Koprivchitsa as an architectural and historical reserve will not be removed, Koprivshtitsa Mayor Gencho Gerdanov, according to FOCUS News Agency in relation to the decision of the Municipal Council in Koprivshtitsa to vote on the removal of the city's status.

The mayor assured that Koprivshtitsa will remain the same - authentic, modern, and clean.

"That is how it will be passed on to future generations," Gencho Gerdanov said. He noted that Koprivshtitsa has been a town - museum since 1952, and after that it was pronounced as a historical and architectural reserve in 1971.

According to him, it has long become a symbol of Renaissance architecture. "We will do everything possible to preserve it," Gencho Gerdanov also stated.
