The director general of the Bulgarian National Radio, Milen Mitev, has been unanimously elected member of the executive board of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). This took place at the 91st regular session of the General Assembly of the EBU held in Geneva. For the first time, Bulgaria has a representative in the highest governing body of the EBU. 

For the first time, the EBU Board of Directors is headed by two women: the president is Delphine Ernotte-Cunci, director general of France Télévisions, and the vice president is Cilla, Benkö, director general of the Swedish Radio. 

The election of Milen Mitev is a recognition of the active role of the Bulgarian National Radio, as well as a testimony to the personal commitment of the general director of the BNR to the cause of the development of public media in Europe.


“Public media has a rich past and the challenges we are facing today create unique opportunities for the days to come. Quick technological developments have led to a new and extremely competitive media world and, in the meantime, given birth to innovative ways of reaching audiences. It has also provided us with new challenges and competitors", Milen Mitev said at the assembly.

The other members of the executive board are the Directors General of the BBC, the Italian, Swiss, Lithuanian, Ukrainian, Portuguese, Bavarian Public Radio and Television, as well as the director of the Vatican Radio.

Meanwhile, Albena Milanova, a member of the Governing Council of the BNR, asked the Parliamentary Committee on Culture and Media to increase the budget of the radio for 2024 by 4 million euros, with 2 million of them being for salaries of the employees. The deputies from the committee rejected as insufficient the draft budget for the Culture sector planned for 2024. It envisages 31.6 million euros for the BNR.
