The Mayor of Pomorie Municipality, Ivan Aleksiev, officially welcomed the participants and speakers to the four-day event of the Professional Association of Mediators in Bulgaria (PAMB), which is being held at the "Dechko Stoev" City Art Gallery. During the opening, he highlighted the municipality's role as a magnet for scientific forums and seminars, stating: "Pomorie is increasingly standing out as a cultural and conference hub. Our city is a suitable place for scientific forums and seminars. Long-standing traditional events such as yours prove this." The mayor expressed his satisfaction that Pomorie successfully brings together professionals from various guilds while simultaneously serving as a place that inspires those in the artistic community.

The large-scale forum was organized at the invitation of lawyer Eliza Nikolova, who serves as Chair of the PAMB Board of Directors and as the event moderator. This year's edition is particularly significant, as the Association will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2026. As part of the festive program, the city is hosting distinguished representatives and speakers from the European Group of Magistrates for Mediation (GEMME), as well as from the International Mediation Institute (IMI).

Since 2016, PAMB has maintained an established tradition of bringing together the mediation community in the country, providing an opportunity for exchanging knowledge, sharing accumulated experience, and holding friendly meetings. All these elements are at the core of the current four-day format, which has turned Pomorie into the host of this prestigious organization.
