Kichikov, 49, has been working for the ministry since September 1992. He has spent his entire career at positions relating to maritime border security.
His predecessor, Antonio Angelov, stepped down earlier in August at the request of Prime Minister Boyko Borisov, alongside one of his deputies, Yotko Andreev.
