Vanya Zlateva, Executive Director of the BEST – Bulgarian English Speech and Debate Tournaments Foundation, invites you to join the Balkan Voices International Tournament. The BEST Foundation is a non-profit, non-governmental organization dedicated to organizing English public speaking competitions for students between 9th and 12th grade.
