Diana Kovacheva, Executive Director of the Transparency without Borders Association, an affiliate of Transparency International, is the most likely new Bulgarian Justice Minister.

The night after the elections runoff, on October 30, Prime Minister, Boyko Borisov, announced that the new minister won't be a Member of the Parliament and said, several days later, he would reveal the name on December 1.
Diana Kovacheva was born in Sofia, in 1975. She graduated with a law degree from the Sofia "Kliment Ohridski" University.

In February 2011, Kovacheva received a PhD in International Law and International Relations. She is married to Ventsislav Kadardzhov, who is a member of the Central Electoral Commission (CEC) from the quota of the opposition, left-wing Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP).
