This is proved by Vaclav Havel and Blaga Dimitrova – important names with valuable historical presence in the field of literature and poetry. Their socio-political activity has played great importance on the development of early democratic processes in the Czech Republic and Bulgaria. Walking the road from the typewriter to the presidential chair, the two famous writers take a worthy place both in their home countries and worldwide. Their works still evoke reflections.
