During his last visit to Sofia before handing over his post to Condoleezza Rice, Powell will be decorated with Bulgaria's highest state order, "Stara Planina", for his outstanding contribution to the development of US-Bulgarian ties and in connection with the centenary of the two countries' diplomatic relations.
Tokom poslednje posete Sofiji pre nego što preda funkciju Kondolizi Rajs, Pauel će biti odlikovan najvišim državnim ordenom Bugarske, «Stara planina», za svoj izuzetan doprinos razvoju američko-bugarskih odnosa i povodom stogodišnjice diplomatskih odnosa dve zemlje.
