tsarenko1975 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I try translate. "Ministry of Defense", "For participation in mission". "Republic Bulgaria". On my mind, peacemaker's medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul wood Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I try translate. "Ministry of Defense", "For participation in mission". "Republic Bulgaria". On my mind, peacemaker's medal. Probably relating to UN Peace Keeping missions in which Bulgarian troops are involved. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacques Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 Do You need the translate? Hello, If you can translate into english , I would appreciate. Best regards jacques Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukasz Gaszewski Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I am unable to translate all, as part of the certificate is illegible, stil from what can be read it looks as follows: "...for paricipation and fulfilling duties in the Bulgarian military contingent in the operation of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Kabul, Afghanistan within the Regional Command - Capital City." Anyway, the name of the medal is "for Participation in the Mission" Decoration and was issued by the Minister of Defense of the Republic of Bulgaria. I think the medal must be fairly new. I have never heard of it before. Could you please check its diameter and ribbon width? I dare say it will be 32 mm - typical of contemporary Bulgarian medals.

tsarenko1975 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Signed: "Minister of Defense of Republic Bulgaria________Nikolay Tsonev". "Ц" = "Ts" in this example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev in Deva Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 A very nice design. I see the certificate dates to 2009 so a good indication to the year of issue. Kevin in Deva, :beer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 Hello, this medal was awarded to me last year by the commander of the Bulgarian Contingent in Afghanistan (Colonel sochev ), but I had no idea of the popularity of this award nor the translation of the document. jacques Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
