Minister of Economy in the caretaker government Kiril Petkov announced that he received confirmation, last Friday, that he is no longer a Canadian citizen.
“The Canadian authorities informed me that the documents certifying this fact have been sent to the Canadian embassy in Romania, where I can pick them up,” he said.
In his words this puts an end to the speculations surrounding his dual citizenship.
