My job

The reason for not writing was that as a freshman in blogging I was turned on the button that allows to write in Hindi. So, everything that I typed turned into Hindi which was not satisfying to me.

Today I checked the blog I now I can write in my plain English.

It was the week after Easter in most of the Christian world. Bulgaria was no exeption. My colleagues and I were fresh enough to work some how, some of them were on vacation, so the office was pretty quiet. Drafting official letters, sending e-mails and performing the "fetish", as our Boss named the tradition of going for a bite in a group, were the main activities here.

I work in Bulgaria Economic Forum (www.biforum.org) - it is a NGO, association which is one of the best organizations in the event management business in Bulgaria. I started a year ago at the position of Editor-in-Chief of the magazine that is published by BEF. Actually, the magazine is part of the information platform of the organization and it supports the main event of the organization - the Southeast Europe Economic Forum (www.seeforum.org) .

The magazine has a name as well: The Region The Southeast Europe Business Magazine. As its name implies it is focused on the most important economic, business and political events and projects in the Southeast part of Europe.
As you probably know the concept "Southeast Europe" has a short usage. It wasn't popular before the wars on the Balkans. After the last war ended, some European politician propose the region to be refered as SEE, not as Balkans, because the later has a negative meanning and implication. (It is because of the wars, but also because the medii which used to point were the conflicts are.)

In the early Autumn of 2006 Alexander Zaykov, BEF programme director, quit because his wife, they were merried for less than six months then, got a position in Maersk, the logistic company, branch in Mumbai, India. It was one of the best decision of a husband made ever, I think. So, the position was vacant. I had some thoughts that my Boss will offer it to me. That day came and now I am trying to cope with both the programme of the events which we organize and with the magazine.

Our next event will be the Economic Forum Maritsa. It will be in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. It will be my first and I do hope that it will be well organized, with plenty of satified guests, speakers and sponsors.
I will write later about that.

My second post - Saturday news

It is great that I have time and will to make my second post here. Actually, I must to post quite often, because I am the "owner".

I have read the news today and the most "popular" topics were about the list of the candidates for the European Parliament of the two parties in Bulgaria. The socialists (known as Bulgarian Socialist Party) and the members of the Tzarist party (National Movement Simeon the Second) chose their men and women who are some kind of the new faces of their parties. The Prime Minister Stanishev, leader of the BSP, said that his pary is aimed at at least six seats in the EP of all 18 for Bulgaria. Tzarists didn't mention any concrete goal but the fair and honourable election performance.
Early this week SEDB (GERB), Boyko Borissov's party, the democrats from UDF announced their candidates - the freshmen and freshwomen prevail in both lists.

The fresh faces are some kind of test for all parties for their will to impose the new people in the public opinion. The will show wheather the party is being recognized of the electorate and wheather the electorate like the new faces of their party. It is somekind of mutual exercise. On one hand the candidates have to impose to the public (both people and media) their political attitude in a strange campaign, on the other - the party people have to discover if the candidates fit to their party stereotype. It is some kind odd interaction which always goes when an election campaign comes.

Everybody says that the first for Bulgaria EP elections will look like every other election in EU. Their features are low activity, both old and forgotten or young and unknown politicians, no serious damage if a party fails. I suppose it will be quite different in Bulgaria.
The raice will be fearest for some and a disastrous for others. Who might be the winners?

Welcome

Hello,

This is my first blog and I would like to become more regular blogger than I am today. Like all other guys I think that I have something special to say to the rest of the world.

I do not wheather it will happen but I will give it a try. I hope it will be fun and I hope that some people will love it. Actually, the efforts will be worth it, if someone replies to my postings.

Here I will write about Bulgarian politics, the European Union issues and the international relations. Yes, it seems that it is too cookie for a not well educated person to have such a claims, but it is not an academic exham, right?

Finally, I hope that I will have time for posting.

Welcome again! That will be really me!

Daniel
