Tsvetan Genchev Tsvetanov (Bulgarian: Цветан Генчев Цветанов, b. 8 April 1965) is a Bulgarian politician and former Ministry of the Interior official. A former security deputy mayor of Sofia, he was, till 2009, the chairman of the Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria (GERB) party. On 8 July 2009, in the wake of the 2009 parliamentary election won by his party, he was specified by de facto party leader Boyko Borisov as future Minister of the Interior.[1]

Tsvetanov was born in Sofia and graduated from the National Sports Academy; he also has a post-graduate degree in law from the University of National and World Economy. Tsvetanov's education also includes counteraction to global terrorism and prevention of illegal automobile trafficking courses at the headquarters of the Policía Nacional in Madrid, Spain, a management course at the International Law Enforcement Academy in Roswell, New Mexico and a basic course at ILEA Budapest, Hungary, as well as law enforcement courses at the American FBI and Department of Homeland Security.[2]

From 2001 to 2005, Tsvetanov was operative assistant to Boyko Borisov, Chief Secretary of the Ministry of the Interior, and director of the ministry's management department. He was a Ministry of the Interior official from 1987 to 2005, when he left the ministry together with Borisov.[1][2] Since GERB's establishment in 2006, the party has been chaired by Tsvetanov. Boyko Borisov is, however, the party's informal leader and Tsvetanov is perceived as his closest associate. Borisov is not allowed to head GERB due to being mayor of Sofia.[3]

Tsvetanov was announced as government candidate for the 2011 Bulgarian presidencial election. GERB retains high approval rate, notwithstanding electoral delusion, and Tsvetanov can be seen as the frontrunner. His image was however tainted by unconvincing explanations of how he acquired six apartments in Sofia after entering politics in 2006.[4]

Tsvetanov is married to Desislava and has three daughters - Gergana, Vasilena and Sophia.[5]
