Tsvetkov is one of Borissov’s two deputy mayors that will make the transition to Cabinet ministers. He holds a degree in international economic relations from UNWE and transport infrastructure from the University of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy in Sofia. He rose through the city hall ranks and was appointed deputy mayor for transport and communications in September 2008. Tsvetkov’s area of expertise is road construction and he is expected to be involved in fulfilling Borissov’s campaign promise to step up work on much-delayed highways, but the new minister’s immediate priority will be persuading the EC to unfreeze funding for transport infrastructure projects.
