Philip Dimitrov was the Prime Minister of Bulgaria in the period November 1991 - December 1992, leader of the United Democratic Forces, our country's representative to the UN, ambassador to the US and head of the EU Permanent Representation in Georgia. In October 2015, he was appointed a judge in the Constitutional Court by President Rosen Plevneliev with a mandate until November 2024. He is a recipient of numerous awards, a lecturer and an author of books.
"In my earliest life, I dreamed of becoming an admiral. Then I went through other different things, like being a doctor. Many of these things happened," Dimitrov recalled. He graduated from an English high school, and later enrolled in law at Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski".
"I did not turn to politics, it somehow grabbed me. Back then, when the events of the late 1980s were happening, it was a matter of duty and honor for a person to participate. I fell into the eye of the storm. It is important for a person to know that these things are not a matter of prior planning. If he plans to become a political figure, he very often turns out to be unsuccessful", he noted.
About what he learned from politics, Dimitrov pointed out that he always likes to recall a thought by Churchill: "democracy is a very bad form of government. The worst except for all the others we know".
