Bulgaria`s Ministry of Economy has formed a working group to inspect how businessman Georgi Gergov gained control of the Plovdiv International Fair.
On Wednesday, Bulgaria`s Economy Minister, Traicho Traikov, said that this was "one of the weirdest deals in the recent years". In his words, the Plovdiv International Fair company even refuses to give the government information because the state is not a majority owner.
Even though the Plovdiv International Fair is in the companies that are banned from being privatized, the tourism businessman Georgi Gergov, who is close to the former governing Bulgarian Socialist Party, controls almost 51% of it through several connected firms.
Gergov is currently the executive director of the Plovdiv International Fair company.
The Plovdiv International Fair is in charge of Bulgaria`s largest commercial annual exhibition, which bears the same name.
