The US is not involved in the return of the businessman Vassil Bozhkov to Bulgaria, US Ambassador to Bulgaria Kenneth Merten said in an interview with Nova TV.

The US is not discussing new names under the Magnitsky Act, the diplomat said further. Kenneth Merten stated the US was not involved in the formation of the current government of Bulgaria. “That’s wrong. I can assure you our role here is not to get involved in domestic politics. We do not get involved in choosing people, choosing parties, that’s why people have elections. We have worked and will work with anybody the Bulgarian people elect,” Kenneth Merten said, and added the US embassy was happy to see a stable Bulgarian government formed in conformity with the constitution. We are happy to see the government work and try and do the best it can for the Bulgarian people and the EU and NATO partners, the US ambassador said.

Thanks to the stable government, a large US business delegation will be coming to Bulgaria in November, Ambassador Kenneth Merten said.
