After graduating from IMLI, I continued working for the Executive Agency “Maritime Administration” (BMA), as I had signed a three year contract with the Administration prior to leaving for IMLI. Part of my responsibilities comprised working as Secretary of the Working Group (WG), created by Order RD-08-232 / 14.05.2014 of the Minister of Transport, Information Technology and Communications, with the aim of studying the possible ratification of the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments (BWM Convention ‘2004) by Bulgaria. In 2012, I became a member of the International Law Association (ILA), and the Bulgarian Association of International Law (national branch of the ILA). I participated in the 75th ILA Conference: Sofia 26-30 August 2012, and in the 76th ILA Conference Washington, D.C., 7-12 April 2014. The latter was held jointly with the 108th Annual Meeting of the American Society of International Law. In 2015, there was a reorganization of the BMA and the Directorate, where I was working was closed. Currently, I am working at the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forestry. I am using my knowledge, obtained at IMLI in relation to the EU and international legislation on the Fisheries. In October 2017, I visited Tbilisi, Georgia, where I participated in the Nippon Fellows Conference for the Black and Caspian Seas Region, co-organized by the Government of Georgia and the NIPPON Foundation of Japan. The two-day Conference was well-organized. The Deputy Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia addressed the Conference. Participants made presentation regarding the status of the activities in the region. Also, there was Roundtable Discussions with Dr. Yohei Sasakawa, Chairman of the NIPPON Foundation, related to the contributions of the Nippon Fellows to better achieving international governance of the oceans and seas for the benefit of sustainable blue growth. There were lots of opportunities for networking and sharing of ideas. It was an enriching experience professionally and personally.
