The former Bulgarian Minister of Defense Nikolay Nenchev will be temporarily in charge of the Bulgarian Embassy in Ukraine. This decision was taken by the Bulgarian caretaker government to end the more than a year-long deadlock between the Council of Ministers and President Rumen Radev on sending a Bulgarian ambassador to Kyiv. 

The Bulgarian embassy was officially left without an ambassador in April 2023. Until then, it was headed by Kostadin Kodzhabashev. However, he was recalled to Bulgaria in February 2022 because of the war and the temporary closure of the embassy, ​​and he never returned to his post - he became an official deputy foreign minister in August 2022. During that time he formally served as ambassador, and in April 2023, when his term expired, he was sent to head the Bulgarian mission to the Vatican. 

By education, Nenchev is a lawyer and political scientist, he is the chairman of the BZNS (Bulgarian Agricultural Union). He was the Minister of Defense in the second cabinet of Boyko Borissov.
