Konstantin Stoilov

Konstantin Stoilov

Konstantin Stoilov ( _bg. Константин Стоилов) (September 23,1853 - March 23, 1901) was a leading Bulgarian politician and twice Prime Minister.

Born in Plovdiv, Stoilov studied at Robert College in Istanbul, before studying law at Ruprecht Karl University of Heidelberg to doctorate level, where he became a Freemason.

A career politician with the Bulgarian Conservative Party, he held a number of government portfolios including Foreign Minister, Law Minister and Interior Affairs Minister. His first reign as Prime Minister lasted only for a brief spell in 1887. He returned in 1894 to preside over a longer ministry, which was characterized by increasing toleration for the activities of the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization as well as fairer treatment of the Jews (as a lawyer, Stoilov had successfully defended the Jews of Vratsa from allegations of blood libel in 1890). The Stoilov-led coalition remained in office until 1899 when a series of liberal administations began. He remained an important figure in Bulgarian politics until his death.

Stoilov was the main political opponent of Stefan Stambolov.
