"For me it is very important to build a President's Office that is always open to people," commented Plevneliev.

Bulgaria's President gave an unexpected answer when asked by journalists which his favorite part of the presidential building is, by naming the corridors.

"I might surprise you by saying that I very much like walking down those corridors. Why? They have many doors. And when those doors are open, corridors function as connectors among people who work together sharing the same goals," said Plevneliev.

He explained that he is hard at work at subverting an older paradigm of closeness and secrecy around Bulgaria's Presidency towards a more integrative approach.

"The truth is: if you want to do your work well, you've got to have trust and communication. And those are things that are to be built slowly and diligently," said Plevneliev.

He added that he hopes this model will gradually be transferred to the whole of Bulgaria's state apparatus.
