NOVI SAD - Novi Sad was named the 2019 European Youth Capital in Varna, Bulgaria, on Wednesday evening.

Three Bulgarian cities, which will be European Capitals in the next three years, will have one landmark buiding each lit in the colours of the EU flag in a light and sound show marking the Day of Europe later this month.

NOVI SAD - Novi Sad is one of five candidate cities shortlisted for the title of European Youth Capital 2018, Exit Foundation announced on Wednesday.

The remaining four candidates still in the running are Manchester, Perugia, Kecskemet and Cascais.

Novi Sad is the only non-EU city among the last five, which makes its success even more impressive.

The Black Sea city of Varna is to be the European Youth Capital (EYC) in 2017, a jury panel announced Wednesday evening.

At a special ceremony held in the Romanian city of Cluj-Napoca (2015's winner), the final decision was revealed after having been taken in Brussels last week.

The 11-member jury that is to award the title European Youth Capital 2017 is to meet in Brussels today.

Bulgaria's Black Sea city of Varna is among the four cities that are competing for the prestigious nomination, the Bulgarian National Radio (BNR) reminds.

A special event dedicated to Varna's bid was held at the European Parliament.
