Preparations are underway for Krum Efremov’s departure to Sofia as the country’s Ambassador to Bulgaria, said Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade TimchoMucunski at a press conference Tuesday.
“The procedure for appointing ambassadors and consuls general is classified at a certain stage and I am not allowed to comment on names. When it comes to the ambassador to Sofia, the procedure is already at a stage where it is no longer classified information and I can publicly share that our ambassador to Bulgaria will be Ambassador Krum Efremov, who served as ambassador to Ukraine in the past and he will be our ambassador to Sofia. Preparations are currently underway for his departure to Sofia,”Foreign Minister Mucunski said.
The FMnoted that the amendments and additions to the Law on Foreign Affairs, proposed by this Government, guarantee the representation of professional diplomats as heads of diplomatic and consular missions, with an increased threshold.
“With the changes and additions that this Government has made, and of course approved by the Parliament, at least 50 percent of our ambassadors and consuls general must be professional diplomats from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,” FMMucunski pointed out.
