A Bulgarian language instruction program is beginning operations in Ofrinio in the coming days, marking another milestone in the expansion of Bulgarian residents throughout the coastal areas of Kavala prefecture. The educational initiative emerged in response to demonstrated demand from Bulgarian families who maintain permanent residency or spend extended periods in the region. Officials view the new facility as evidence of the demographic shift occurring in the area, as more citizens from Bulgaria establish themselves in northern Greece. The program will be offered at no cost to participants, removing financial barriers to language instruction.
