Bulgaria's cabinet removed Malina Krumova from leadership of the State Agency for Road Traffic Safety during ministerial proceedings, replacing her with Rosen Rapchev, according to unverified reports. The traffic enforcement veteran formerly commanded the Interior Ministry's patrol division before assuming the transport security position amid mounting concern over highway fatalities.
Krumova had guided the organization since its 2019 creation after serving in multiple deputy portfolios spanning environmental policy, European funding administration under a caretaker administration, and regional infrastructure development. Her departure follows intensified government efforts targeting vehicular accident prevention through expanded enforcement campaigns.
