On March 20, 2025, the European organization "Union of Orthodox Journalists" inaugurated its branch in Bulgaria. Along with this, the UOJ website for the country has also been launched.
UOJ correspondents will cover the life of Orthodox communities within the Bulgarian Church in Sofia and other cities and settlements across the country. Analytical materials, articles, and interviews will promptly and objectively report on all significant events within the local Orthodox community.
The opening of the Bulgarian branch, following the launch of offices in Germany, Greece, Albania, Serbia, and the United States, is part of our strategy to support canonical Orthodoxy on an international scale and unite Orthodox believers from different countries. The Union of Orthodox Journalists is a unique media project aimed at bringing Orthodox Christians together worldwide and defending traditional Christian values.
On November 21, 2024, the UOJ registered a new legal entity in Europe and launched branches in Greece, Germany, Albania, Serbia, and the USA. More country branches are planned for the near future.
