" Another typical feature of Bulgarian character is modesty. Getting embarrassed and even making an attempt to belittle one's services when being praised is quite common a behaviour in Bulgaria."

Not an expert! But...
" Another typical feature of Bulgarian character is modesty. Being embarrassed by compliments, and even making an attempt to belittle one's services when being praised is quite common a behaviour in Bulgaria."

Hi, David!
Your suggested revision looks great!

Cheers,
Amigo
