Diplomats have expired more than a year because of the conflict
Radko Vlaykov leaves for Bucharest, where the ex-prime minister wanted to send Daniel Mitov, in Sarajevo Valeri Yotov replaces former deputy minister
The caretaker government of Stefan Yanev and President Rumen Radev have begun replacing ambassadors.
This became clear after the cabinet made its first two proposals for the appointment of new diplomats to the head of state.
The appointments of ambassadors have been blocked for more than a year after former Prime Minister Boyko Borissov and President Radev once again clashed over embassy changes at the end of 2020. The reason then was the proposal of the GERB government for ambassador to Bucharest to send former Foreign Minister Daniel Mitov.
Radev refused,
and subsequently

of GERB
It was from the embassy in Bucharest that the changes to the now caretaker government began. In Mitov’s refusal, he offered the president to send the diploma to Radko Vlaykov, a former Foreign Ministry spokesman when Nadezhda Neynsky was minister.
Vlaykov last served a term abroad in Serbia in 2016-2019. He will replace incumbent Ambassador Todor Churov in Romania, whose term expired at the end of 2020.
The cabinet is also proposing to Radev a change of ambassador to Bosnia and Herzegovina. He has to go to Sarajevo

and global
questions ”
at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Valeri Yotov. He replaces Augustina Tsvetkova, who was Nikolay Mladenov’s deputy minister in GERB’s first government when he headed the defense.
Tsvetkova’s term also expired at the end of 2020, but her replacement was blocked by the conflict between Radev and Borissov. In fact, Radko Vlaykov was scheduled to leave for Sarajevo as an ambassador, but in the end he became an ambassador with special appointments to the Foreign Ministry with a portfolio of Bulgarian communities abroad, and Tsvetkova went there.
The former prime minister and head of state found it difficult to reach an agreement throughout Borissov’s third government. In 2018
by two years
was delayed
switching close
30 ambassadors
Then the quarrel revolved around the place in Paris – the president insisted that the diplomat Petko Draganov be sent there, and the government proposed Yuri Shterk (then Deputy Foreign Minister). Finally, Borissov resigned and Radev sent his then foreign policy adviser Nikolai Milkov to the post, leaving Morocco for Stork, but was later withdrawn.
