Twenty scholars affiliated with the most distinguished institutions - the IBSCT-BAS, Sofia University St. Kliment Ohridski, South-West University Neofit Rilski - Blagoevgrad, New Bulgarian University, Plovdiv University Paisii Hilendarski, National History Museum, and other museums in the country will present various aspects of research in the field of Thracology.

The main attention is paid to the role of the human factor in them and, in particular, to the recognition received through the awarding of national orders. In the eventful and personal history of the relations between the two countries, the awarding of prominent figures with high state awards is quite common. The book presents the individual efforts of each of the awarded Bulgarians, as part of the joint efforts to strengthen the common European home through the development of relations between Bulgaria and Belgium.
