Emil Kotsev, Head of Bulgarian state-owned Technexportstroy has been fired by Prime Minister Boyko Borisov after the state-owned company became the first to rescue Bulgarians from Libya.
Kotsev drew the Prime Minister rage after he said it was him who sent the plane which rescued 110 Bulgarians from the ongoing turmoil in the North African country.
"He is using the Foreign Ministry for doing self promotion," Borisov claimed on Wednesday.
The plane, secured by Technoexportstroy, landed early Wednesday morning (4 am) at the Sofia International Airport with 110 Bulgarians and 6 Romanians on board. They are mainly medical and construction workers.
Later on Wednesday, the Bulgarian government's Airbus, sent personally by Borisov and Regional Development Minister Rosen Plevneliev, successfully landed on Sofia's International Airport with only one Bulgarian, a woman, on board. The others passengers are said to include 70 people from Croatia, 2 from South Korea and 10 from China.
Borisov pointed out that, if necessary, the government is ready to deploy more planes in evacuating Bulgarian citizens from Libya.
