Today Bulgarian National Radio celebrates its 71st anniversary. Back in 1930 a group of initiative people, among whom Prof. Assen Zlatarov, the writer Elin Pelin, Dipl.Eng. Georgi Georgiev, organized a movement for founding a cooperation to ask concession from radio dispersion in BG. March 1930 the constitutive meeting of the ?Native Radio? Cooperation took place, which was allowed to disperse programs on wave 329m between 6 ? 8 PM.

January 25th, 1935, the Ministerial Council of Kingdom of Bulgaria issued an order approved by the BG Tsar Boris III decree dated the same date (see the photo above), stating that radio dispersion becomes owned by the state. The regional radio stations of Sofia, Varna and Stara Zagora initially constituted the state radio of Bulgaria.
