Traikov was the most unexpected pick in Borissov’s Cabinet line-up and its biggest unknown. The former receiver in two utility companies that Austria’s EVN owns in Bulgaria, Traikov is a graduate of UNWE and has a post-graduate diploma from the Controller Akademie in Gauting, Germany. Traikov told Kapital weekly that he met Borissov for the first time just a few days before his nomination, but said that he did not want to pass on the opportunity to "do something for my country." His priorities will be pursuing energy independence policies and improving the business climate.
