Naidenov is a veterinary doctor and the former head of Bulgaria’s national veterinary service, most recently the head of the Sofia municipal veterinary firm. Naidenov said his immediate priority was to regain the trust of European institutions and unfreezing EU structural funds, cleaning up the ministry’s image, which is now perceived as the most corrupt ministry in Bulgaria. Corruption in agriculture was so rampant that it distorted reality, he said. Naidenov had little time to get used to office before the latest EU anti-fraud office team arrived in Sofia on July 29.
