The summit will be preceded by an informal dinner of the EU Heads of State or Government as part of the Leaders’ Agenda.
The venue of the summit is National Palace of Culture (NDK) in Sofia. It is the biggest congress centre in South East Europe. Work on the building began in 1979 and was finalised in 1981. Nearly 10 000 t of steel was used in the construction, approximately the same amount as in the Eiffel Tower, as well as 335 000 m3 of concrete.
