/View.information/ On February 7 of this yr the location Epicenter BG printed a publication beneath the title: “Ilia Lazarov about President Radev: He nonetheless thinks he’s the commander within the barracks”.
Iliya Lazarov, Secretary Basic of the SDS, was Petar Stoyanov’s chief of workers. The president of the “civilizational selection” who even wished to exchange the Cyrillic alphabet with the Latin alphabet. In response to Mr. Lazarov: “Throughout these 4 years, President Radev had no worldwide exercise, aside from a number of journeys to drink tea. Total, little or no worldwide exercise.”
In my view, the analysis is “pre-election” tendentious and exaggerated with negativity. From my 18 official participations in delegations accompanying three totally different Bulgarian presidents, I do know {that a} key issue for profitable worldwide exercise of the consultant authority is the federal government and its constructions, primarily the Ministry of International Affairs as a coordinator, within the nation and overseas. Within the nation – to gather analytical info from different state departments and overseas missions (MF), and summarize in a readable type and quantity for the president supplies as regards to his conversations with overseas companions and counterparts. Within the nation and overseas – provision of protocol help for this system and safety, the place the position of the NSO + the PA is paramount.
The president’s secretaries and advisors can have their affect on making ready this system and supplies for talks of the president and his supporters, however it’s not by probability that each one presidents have most well-liked diplomats seconded by the Ministry of International Affairs as collaborators on overseas coverage points. Or individuals with good connections with the Ministry of International Affairs.
The mandate of Petar Stoyanov was in a way more eventful time for the overseas coverage orientation for Bulgaria, and even then we had much more professionally educated ambassadors and diplomats within the nation and overseas, who additionally considerably affect the profitable overseas coverage exercise of the presidential establishment.
The motives for presidential visits overseas or visits to our nation on a bilateral foundation or at multilateral boards are primarily sure matters or + signing of interstate paperwork of strategic significance. However within the Nineties and firstly of the primary decade of the so-called the contractual and authorized foundation of Bulgaria was renewed. Covid can be negatively affecting worldwide exercise.
It will depend on the federal government whether or not, along with his staff, the president can be accompanied by accountable ministers, their deputies – i.e. politicians who can undertake commitments within the fields of financial and cultural life. In any other case, the presidential go to or internet hosting tremendously relieves. As usually occurs these days in our nation. And Mr. Lazarov is aware of this very properly, as can be recognized within the Council of Ministers. With a authorities boycott of the presidential delegations, contacts on the highest degree turn out to be meaningless. And the worldwide exercise of the consultant authority turns into an tour and familiarization on the expense of the state. Even when the president achieves departmental success or prospects with a overseas accomplice, he can’t rely on authorities help, not to mention the implementation of concepts and intentions.
With our constellation of political observe, authorities – Nationwide Meeting, it’s not an issue if this tandem is maliciously limiting the monetary prospects of “Dondukov 2”. To this we should add deceptive the president both by means of incompetence or knowingly. For instance, the primary go to of R. Radev to Germany was unsuccessful as a result of fault of the Ministry of International Affairs. Or the case of the interruption of his go to to Estonia, when it was not clear whether or not from “Zhendov 2”, “Dondukov 1”, he himself or his staff led him to take over the internet hosting of the “Trimorie” mission, which was ambiguously accepted at house and overseas.
In response to the “canon of protocol” in official interstate or multilateral contact, it’s accepted that the Minister of International Affairs accompanies the President, and his deputy – the Prime Minister. In our protocol observe, throughout his go to even to the USA, the prime minister was accompanied by 3-4 Torabalanov-ministers, however not by the overseas minister!? Let’s additionally skip the contacts with the “communist” Erdogan… “Letitbe!”, as ex-president Stoyanov preferred to repeat.
One other well-established observe within the civilized world is that prime ministers – resulting from their commitments to fixing home political issues – do not need time for overseas coverage exercise. That is the job of the overseas minister and – relying on the constitutional powers – of the president. And within the poorest nation of the European Union the prime minister appears to have taken over overseas coverage journey. Furthermore, the overseas language coaching within the case of the Bulgarian president is rather more appropriate for worldwide communication than that of the prime minister.
To not point out the distinction in observe for reporting presidential and prime ministerial worldwide actions. For the latter sort, I’ve not heard stories written for years, from which particular duties for the departments and proposals for personal enterprise could be derived.
In entrance of Washington, the prime minister was accounted for with the advance cost of overpriced F-16, hopefully they’re no less than current on drawings! Within the European Council, which is vital for the EU, 23 member states, incl. Bulgaria, are represented by their prime minister, 4 of the presidents with management over the manager energy – France, Romania, Lithuania, Cyprus. The present opposition between the president and the prime minister partially deprives us of illustration within the EU Councils, the place translators weren’t allowed all over the place. And with elementary intervention from our PP to the EU-Brussels, they’d permit the participation of the president or no less than alternating with the prime minister. As they did within the autumn to open successive periods of the UN Basic Meeting.
**In order thatclerkship beneath a president like Stoyanov and Commander-Prime Minister Kostov, which didn’t create issues for the worldwide exercise of the presidential establishment, isn’t universally related for buying goal experience.
Particularly with intolerance between the president and the prime minister about ethical values in politics. And within the situations of a corona virus pandemic.
In any other case, Stoyanov additionally accepted invites to tea overseas and third-rate exhibitions. And he was attempting to persuade President Vaclav Havel that the husband of his spouse’s man-hunting pal, an unsuccessful overseas commerce employee, a 10-year pupil in Prague, was extra appropriate for ambassador than the skilled Stoyanov despatched by Sofia earlier than the mandate.
Gone are the occasions when officers from Stoyanov’s time competed with ex-
staff of different Bulgarian presidents who visited extra overseas international locations “with the boss”. World to see. On a state keur-gyuvech sofra, as they are saying within the South.
