Candidature of Varna for European
Capital of Culture |
It was launched on 13
June 1985 by the Greek minister of
culture, the famous actress and singer,
Melina Mercouri. Initially, the
initiative was called European City of
Culture in a special motion of the
Council of Ministers of the Union.
The official document stated that the
European City of Culture was to present
a culture which in its historical roots
and contemporary development was
characterized both by common elements
and a heritage which had been due to
differences. |
