The governor Maria Dimova announced that Ruse will be the host of a regional Euro coffe shop. The local governor negotiated the details of the forum during a work meeting with the chairman of the Institute for regions of Europe prof. Franz Schausberger.

The Euro coffee shop is a cultural project of the Institute of regions, which gives the opportunities for broad discussions on the questions of European integration. The initiators of the project share the thesis, that the coffee shop is a reflection of the local culture everywhere in Europe, and serves as a communication point at the same time.

Euro coffee shops unite writers, artists, government officials and citizens in one place. Forums such as this usually turn out to be creative workshops of a sort, and they stimulate the cultural exchange.
