The notorious Bulgarian Foreign Ministry employee Lila Georgieva has submitted her application for the position of Bulgarian Consul in Brazil, the Foreign Ministry spokesperson Dragovest Goranov said on Wednesday, adding that it was a very "delicate" matter that needed to be left to the selection committee and Foreign Minister Ivaylo Kalfin.

Georgieva became widely popular one year ago after she uploaded an erotic photo session on several dating sites and her own Internet site, and was penalized by the Ministry for her actions.

Dragovest Goranov further said that the employee had served her penalty and there were no obstacles for her to apply for the position or for her eventual appointment.

"Our colleague speaks Portuguese fluently and we need someone in Brazil with such qualifications. You should rather inquire what does a person in a black suit and tie do in Brazil if they do not speak the language. You have the right to ask though and this is our answer," the Ministry' spokesperson stated.

Goranov did, however, admit that the girl has been involved in an embarrassing situation, which would be taken into account when the decision was going to be made, adding that a Ministry employee, regardless of their offense, could not be banned from applying for a job abroad.

Lila Georgieva, who is serving in Bilateral Consular Relations and Consulate Protection Directorate, claimed last year that the pictures were art photographs and their publishing did not interfere with her duties.

The employee's curriculum vitae was also published on her site along with a scandalous describtion of a diplomat's duties.

The young foreign officer is a graduate of Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski" and holds a Master Degree in International Relations from the Univercidade Catolica in Lisbon.
