Gosho is a kid who smokes, drinks and has a sinister temper. He does not sound like a good example of imitation, but the generations before us grew up without a problem with this hero from the books of Pelin Velkov and Tsveti Ivanov, illustrated by the best artist for the purpose: the controversial Stoyan Venev.

''The good neighbor day'' will be held in Elin Pelin municipality on May 19, 2018, the press center of the Municipality announced.

Locals in Elin Pelin, Western Bulgaria, will protest against authorities' decision to deny registration to a Syrian family.

The development sparked outrage across Bulgaria, but also a wave of support for Elin Pelin's mayor who cited fears of the locals that a wave of migrants might follow if the Syrians are allowed to settle.

The mayor of Elin Pelin, not far from the Bulgarian capital Sofia, has told a Syrian family of three to leave the municipality despite the fact they have been granted humanitarian status.
