You're very welcome. It may be the exact same species as the spotting in the link below, but I'm not knowledgeable about species in your area. Maybe Despina can help you: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/404086053

Thank you @Daniele for Id-ing my spotting. I've removed it from the butterfly missions. Regards

Hi МенчеЗдравкова! This is not a butterfly, but an insect in the family Nemopteridae, called spoonwings. Thank you in advance for removing it from the butterfly missions.
