Yeah, I've heard about it. One of the main secondary characters in the series seems to be some Viktor Krum (Bulgarian, played by Bulgarian actor too), a champion of the Eastern European academy's (or whatever those magic-school things are) Quidditch team. I think the academy was located somewhere in Romania though (as I said, haven't read the books, so not sure) and its sphere of influence is simply encompassing all Eastern Europe.
Re: [Off-Topic] Tsar's Resting Place
Well, honestly Harry Potter makes a terrible generalisation with all the countries of Eastern Europe (who cares if they are Russians, Bulgarians or Romanians???, typical in most westerners). But I can not have a very strong opinion about the books, since I read them about eight years ago

"At first we were confused. The East thought that we were West, while the West considered us to be East. Some of us misunderstood our place in the clash of currents, so they cried that we belong to neither side- and others that we belong exclusively to one side or the other. But I tell you, Irenaeus, we are doomed by fate to be the East in the West and the West in the East, to acknowledge only heavenly Jerusalem beyond us, and here on earth--no one." - St. Sava (of Serbia) to Irenaeus, 13th century

While Nikephoros I and his army were busy pillaging, devastating and plundering the Bulgarian capital, Krum mobilized his people (including the women) to set traps and ambushes in the mountain passes. On his way back to Constantinople the emperor learnt about these preparations for battle. The panicked emperor repeatedly stated to his companions "Even if we have had wings we could not have escaped from peril." At dawn on July 26 the Byzantines found themselves trapped against a moat and wooden wall in the Vărbica pass. Nikephoros was killed in the ensuing battle together with many of his troops, while his son Staurakios was carried to safety by the imperial bodyguard after receiving a paralyzing wound to his neck. According to tradition, Krum had the Emperor's skull lined with silver and used it as a drinking cup. This enhanced his reputation for brutality and, together with his later invasions and pillaging of Byzantine territory, won him the appellation of "New Sennacherib".
Krum feasts with his nobles, while the servant (right) is bringing the skull of Nikephoros already made a drinking cup full of wine
