Ulyana Pramova was re-elected director general of the Bulgarian National Television (BNT) with full majority of nine votes at Tuesday’s sitting of the Council for Electronic Media (CEM).
The event was accompanied by a scandal as Bulgarian media received a letter on Monday saying that Ulyana Pramova was elected BNT director general (one day before the real vote). A little later two other letters were sent, saying that the voting will take place on Tuesday and the first message was a ‘check for reactions and expectations’. CEM members were flat the mistake won’t remain unpunished, but the one who made it won’t be revealed. CEM reasoned the choice on Pramova with their confidence in her first successful term of office, her good understanding that meets the modern trends for development of public televisions and with the fact that one term of office was not enough to show a director general’s full capacity.
