Bulgaria Air CEO Zlatin Sarastov told the agency it was only fitting to publicize the country's heritage. "The achievements of successful Bulgarians are the best advertisement of our country and that has been proved by time," Sarastov said. The airline said the promotion would also allow foreigners to get enchanted by the nestinars' dance -- a traditional Bulgarian dance in which men and women in trances walk on hot embers.
