Romanian Contribution to the Preparation of Bulgarian Experts with Higher and Vocational Education.

The article deals with the education of Bulgarian specialists in higher and vocational Romanian schools in the period 1878-1912. The author specifies their total number, the schools they were trained at and the courses and subjects they studied. The research is based on abundant and diverse sources (unused so far archival documents of Bulgarian repositories, originals of diplomas, certificates, official correspondence; ministerial orders providing grants and one-off cash benefits for Bulgarian students in Romania; Bulgarian and Romania studies on the topic, reference books, etc.). These sources make it possible to compile a list with the names and the most important personal data of 143 Bulgarians who studied at the University of Bucharest and other higher education and vocational education institutions in Romania during the survey period.
