Bulgaria’s Foreign Ministry might terminate early the terms of the country’s ambassadors to the USA and Turkey over disciplinary violations.

This has been announced by Foreign Minister, Rumiana Jeleva, as cited by the 24 Chasa Daily, who said the Ministry was carrying out disciplinary inspections in the Bulgarian Embassies in Washington, DC, and Ankara.

Bulgaria’s Ambassador to the USA, Lachezar Petkov, may be recalled over the disappearing of documentation from the voting in Bulgaria’s July Parliamentary Elections. Ambassador Petkov has admitted that documents from the elections that had been supposed to be mailed to Bulgaria had been trashed by the janitor and her husband. Yet, in his words the ambassador should not be blamed for that; the written testimonies of those responsible have been sent to the Foreign Ministry.

Minister Jeleva has not specified what disciplinary violations may cause the recall of Bulgaria’s Ambassador to Turkey, Branimir Mladenov.
