Irina Bokova a good compromise for Unesco

Bulgarian politician Irina Bokova was elected new Director-General of Unesco on Tuesday. The daily Sega examines the reasons for her success: "Unesco has the task of ridding the organisation of the bad habits of [former Director-General Koïchiro] Matsuura, whose name is synonymous with lack of transparency and corruption. It's true that our candidate comes from a country that suffers from precisely these weaknesses. But Bulgarians working with international organisations have earned a reputation for being thorough, honest and hard-working colleagues. … Bokova is certainly not a threat to anyone. This makes her a good compromise candidate for resolving major contradictions."
