  Bulgaria
Bulgaria is situated in a region once inhabited by the ancient Thracians and later by Greeks and Romans, and is a successor of a powerful European medieval empire which at times covered most of the Balkans and spread its culture and literature among the Slavic peoples of Eastern Europe.
Bulgaria was one of three countries (with Finland and Denmark) that saved its entire Jewish population (around 50,000) from the Nazi camps by refusing to comply with a 31 August 1943 resolution.
Bulgaria offers excellent conditions for high-tech and telecommunication industries and services with its strategic location, highly-qualified workforce, macroeconomic stability, growing domestic market and well-educated specialists due to country's traditionally strong educational system, with one of the highest rank of youth mathematicians and informaticians in the world.

 Bulgaria Air Passenger Opinions about Bulgaria Air product and service standards
Obviously, Bulgaria Air and their staff knew about this but preferred to spare us this information until landing (I guess if they could they would prefer not to tell us at all where we are landing).
Bottom line: Bulgaria Air has a very pale colour scheme which is all white with just a spiritless logo on the tail and their name accross the fuselage and it perfectly represents what this company stands for: a basic even somewhat pale and shabby service.
Bulgaria Air only started check-in 3 hours before the flight so that I had to wait 5 hours in SVOs main hall instead of the airport lounge (which is airside).

Bulgaria was increasingly supplying the Ottoman Empire with wool, cloth and foodstuffs, giving rise to a prosperous mercantile and artisan class based in the towns and villages of both the Balkan Mountains and the Sredna Gora.
Bulgaria's cultural reawakening expressed itself in protests against the Greek Church, which controlled all ecclesiastical affairs in the country and ran most of the schools.
