    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.

    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.

    Regards,

    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.
