Bulgaria's Minister of Social Policy and Labor, Totyu Mladenov, has released from the post his Chief of Staff, Dimitar Markov, over unreturned bonuses.
In a Saturday interview for Darik radio Mladenov praised Markov's work, but explained the latter asked himself to be released and he complied because this has been a moral issue.
The Social Ministry announced on Friday that the Deputy would be leaving, but the resignation has been effective since Wednesday – the deadline to all senior officials to return bonuses they have gotten for 2010 and 2011 on the order of Prime Minister, Boyko Borisov.
Markov had received a total of BGN 15 275, but was able to collect and return only about BGN 4 000.
Mladenov said everyone else had complied with Borisov's instructions, adding that the new State Servants Act will resolve all issues related to bonuses.
