Procedure of relieving Hristo Stoichkov as Honorary Consul in Spain launched
10 October 2017 News
A procedure is initiated to relieve Hristo Stoichkov from his duties as Bulgaria's Honorary (part-time) Consul to the Kingdom of Spain, seated in Barcelona and covering the Spanish autonomous communities of Catalonia and Aragon.
The decision is to be reviewed by the Council of Ministers after an internal coordination procedure takes place.
The Council of Ministers appointed Hristo Stoichkov as this country's Honorary Consul to Spain by Decision No. 585 of 29 July 2011. His work, however, has been impeded in recent years by the fact that he mostly resides in the US.
In addition to that, Stoichkov's future work as honorary consul will be obstructed by the complicated communication he has with the official Spanish authorities, which is the result of his recent public statements.
The Kingdom of Spain is a strategic partner and a friend to Bulgaria, bilateral relations are excellent at all levels and cooperation in areas of mutual interest is intense.
