A monument to US President Woodrow Wilson was unveiled in downtown Sofia today. Wilson helped preserve Bulgarian sovereignty after the end of the First World War.

The monument is the work of sculptor Georgi Chapkanov and is placed in the garden between the Central Bath and the Banya Bashi Mosque.

The opening was attended by representatives of the Bulgarian political and intellectual elite. Among them were many members of the judiciary, on whose initiative the monument to the 28th President of the United States was erected.

The decision to erect the monument was made by the Sofia Municipal Council on April 23 this year.

Woodrow Wilson was President of the United States from 1913 to 1921. He remains famous for his famous speech on the 14 points he offers to the League of Nations.

At the peace negotiations in 1919, Woodrow Wilson insisted that White Sea Thrace, Southern Dobrudja and Tsaribrod region remain within the borders of the Kingdom of Bulgaria. With his decisive intervention, he prevented the realization of the huge territorial claims of Serbia, Greece and Romania towards our country, as well as its liquidation as a state and the division of three regions subordinated to its neighbors. Wilson said he would rather leave the conference in Paris than agree to the division of a nation into an independent state and a century-old past.

In 1919, Woodrow Wilson received the Nobel Peace Prize.
