Summary/Abstract: The 10th anniversary of Bulgaria's full EU membership is not just a time for evaluation . It is important for two reasons, at least. Firstly, the EU is in one of the most serious crises in the history of European unification, waves of Euroscepticism are sweeping across many member states. Secondly, in just half a year our country will have the extremely serious responsibility of taking over the rotating presidency of the Council. In this context, it is of fundamental importance how the Bulgarian citizens make sense of the Presidency, the European Union in its entirety, and last but not least, their place in it.
