President expects proposals for ambassadors in key capitals

The trend of temporary managers of Bulgaria's embassies around the world should not become the norm. This is what President Rumen Radev said to the government through media in the National Archaeological Institute with Museum at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, after examining the temporary exhibition with the second statue discovered in the ancient city of Heraclea Sintica. "The choice of ambassadors was finally agreed on last week, as it should be. But also with compromises on my part," he said, adding that he still continues to expect proposals from the government for key capitals such as Washington.

Until recently, the ambassador to the United States was former acting Defense Minister Georgi Panayotov. In April, he surprisingly resigned more than a year before the end of his four-year term and returned to Bulgaria. Official reasons for Panayotov's decision have not yet been given, nor is it clear who will succeed him in this key position, the Sega newspaper reads. The mission is currently led by chargé d'affaires.
