Rosen Plevneliev, 52, was Bulgaria's fourth democratically elected president in 2011, continuing a new political tradition that began after the fall of communism in 1990. A graduate of Sofia Technical University, he has a business background in the field of construction and real estate, with eight years working in Germany before starting his political career. In 2009, he was appointed as minister of regional development and public works, following general elections for seats in the National Assembly.

Some of his works can be seen in the high-quality highways that stretch along the country's borders with Greece and Turkey, also in the construction of the Sofia Business Park and the Sofia Residential Park. He has maintained his good relations with Germany since he became president. "Germany is now our biggest market," he told Tempo in an exclusive interview.
