- “24 Chasa” has a lot of capital, one of which is Georgi Milkov, he said Venelina Gocheva, publisher of “24 Chasa” and editor of his first book
- The premiere of “Stories from hand luggage” brought together over 500 guests who celebrated with the author and his anniversary
Born to shine at all times. Dynamic and flexible, secretive and fascinating, and when you talk to him, you have a sense of encyclopedia. He is like a star able to point to the Milky Way. This is how Prof. Petar Stoyanovich described Georgi Milkov at the premiere of his first book – “Stories from hand luggage”.
The journalist from “24 Chasa” gathered over 500 guests in Hall 6 of the NDK.
“Georgi is a springy spirit in a young body. Today Milkov is 50 and probably walks 50 km a day, and when he is 80, we won’t know where he is. Today he is entering his most mature creative age,” Prof. Petar also said Stoyanovich. For his birthday and his literary debut, he gave him a 17th-century crucifix.
“Happy March 8th! It’s the day of Georgi Milkov and Georgi Banov from “24 Chasa”. Today we celebrate 3 in 1. The historical responsibility for the appearance of Zhoro Milkov rests with his parents. He was a radiant child, no one expected that he will not comply with order and discipline. Somehow we missed that Zoro reached these 50 years,” said the publisher of “24 Chasa” Venelina Gocheva, who is also the editor of the book. “While I was rearranging his scattered thoughts about people, places, combat conflicts and terribly funny situations, I said to myself 2 things. What he ran for – he wanted a colorful life, which in the editorial office we did not provide him. He earned the freedom that I gave him. The benefit is for both sides. “24 Chasa” has a lot of capital, one of which is Zoro Milkov. And vice versa – capital for him is “24 Chasa”, she added.
“Buy the book. Enjoy this life that you will never have. You will see for yourself in 50 years, when we gather again to celebrate Milkov’s birthday,” said Venelina Gocheva.
The premiere of the book was opened by Konstantin Valkov, program director of “Darik Radio”.
“There are 2 impulses for a person to travel: the first is that he doesn’t want to stay at home, the second is to visit some exotic place. There are also two types of travelers – the tourists who don’t know where they’ve been, the other are the travelers who know where they will go. Georgi Milkov is a traveler, not a tourist,” said host Valkov.
Georgi Milkov is one of those special breed of people who are asked by his friends not how he is, but where he is. This is what Iliyan Andonov, manager of the Knigomania publishing house, which printed the journalist’s debut book, said.
“He has visited more than 150 countries, this is his way of making friends with the world. Since he was a child, he loves to travel, to look at the stars,” Andonov also said and wished him that his dream of flying into space would come true. “Venelina Gocheva discovered it, extended her hand and gave it the opportunity to develop. She has always supported it. As the best publisher in our country, she edited it and showed not only a professional, but also a personal attitude”.
Journalist Georgi Toshev, who also started his professional career at “24 Chasa”, sent his namesake a video greeting: “I remember the first time when he entered the editorial office of “24 Chasa” and told a story. That’s when I realized that you have a talent as a storyteller. You collect the stories of people”, said Toshev and wished him roads, meetings and stories to tell.
Georgi Milkov welcomed his guests with the words: Extremely different from all my birthdays, I have never celebrated it with so many people, so I am truly grateful.
The birthday boy was treated to themed cocktails – “Landing in Ouagadougou”, “Secrets of Tehran” and “Eritrean dolce vita”. Specially made for this moment.
Among the guests who celebrated March 8 in the company of Georgi Milkov were Linda Petkova, Solomon and Gergana Passi, Mihaela Kalaidzhieva, Metropolitan Antony, Prof. Hristo Pimpirev, Kalina Konstantinova, Prof. Krasimir Genov, Nadezhda Neinski, Radomir Cholakov, Nikolina Angelkova .
