Bulgaria's Kristalina Georgieva, who triumphed with the "European of the Year" and "EU Commissioner of the Year" awards of the prestigious newspaper European Voice, has expressed her gratitude to Bulgarian and European citizens.
"I want to say a huge thank you to all the Bulgarians who supported me. I promise I will work for them. I also want to thank the European citizens because they value humanitarian activities. I thank them for the awards, but mostly for what they do for people all over the world who need help. For me, this award raises the bar of responsibility," Georgieva said for the Bulgarian National Radio.
Georgieva, who is the EU Commissioner on International Cooperation, Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Response, became the second Bulgarian EU Commissioner after Bulgaria's Meglena Kuneva, in charge of consumer protection in the first Barroso Commission, won the same awards in 2008.
The winners in the several "European of the Year" categories of European Voice were determined after an online voting on the website of "European Voice". "European Voice" is an English language newspaper owned by The Economist group.
The other nominees that Georgieva defeated in the category EU Commissioner of the Year were Viviane Reding (justice and fundamental rights), Slim Kallas (transport) and Cecilia Malmstrom (home affairs).
