Culture Ministers Accepts
Resignation of Executive Director,
Five Members of National Fund Culture


Sofia, February 14 (BTA) - Culture Minister Atanas Atanasov accepted the resignation of the Executive Director and five management board members of National Fund Culture (NFC), the Ministry said in a statement on Monday.

Mirena Staneva will continue being NFC's Executive Director until someone else is selected for the position.

During a videoconference meeting initiated by Atanas Atanasov with the Management Board members, the Minister appealed for collective resignation in order to set a new beginning for the work of the fund.

It became clear that Staneva and Management Board member and Chief Assistant in the History Department of Sofia University, Nelly Stoeva, submitted their resignation letters to Atanasov a few hours before the meeting began. Both resignation letters contained well-grounded arguments and were accepted by Atanasov.

The main reason for the request for resignation is the accumulated negatives, which cannot be ignored, the Culture Ministry said in the statement. Atanasov said he sees the voluntary resignation of the NFC's Management Board members as the only honest way to try to restore confidence in the work of the fund.

Followed the resignation letters of Boyan Angelov, Chairman of the Bulgarian Writers' Union, Georgi Kerezov, Finance Ministry representative, Teodora Dacheva, Deputy Executive Director of the National Association of Municipalities in Bulgaria.

Veliko Marinchevski of the National Art Academy, Culture Manager Tsanko Vasilev, who has 20-year experience in the field of contemporary art and culture, and Culture Ministry representative Elena Nikolova declared refusal to resign.

The decisions of Irina Garkova, who has held the positions of spiritual and cultural adviser and secretary of spirituality and culture in the presidential administration, and Silvia Choleva - writer, publisher and journalist, will be sent in writing, the Ministry added.
