It is always very important for Mr Borissov to have his photo taken next to celebrities, including politicians, which is part of his daily work. To him, the fact that he was congratulated formally for his re-election by the leaders of key countries like UK and USA is not a matter of protocol but of personal attitude and recognition for his personal skills. In the same time, however, his achievements in the fight against corruption at the high levels and the organised crime are null.
