Early life and education


Born in Sofia, Mitov received his higher education at the Sofia University. In addition to his native Bulgarian, he is fluent in English, Italian, and Russian.




Political career



In 2002, Mitov worked at the Political Academy for Central and Southeast Europe and in 2006 became a member of Bulgaria's Democracy Foundation. Following his succession there, he became a deputy chairman of the Democrats for a Strong Bulgaria party and since 2010 works at the National Democratic Institute with the delegates of North Africa and the Middle East.




Fight against terrorism


In a speech at the Israel Council on Foreign Relations in 2016, Mitov begins by calling terrorism the biggest issue of the Middle East. In his words, terrorism “regardless of how many resources we allocate to assisting the countries of origin and transit, the refugee flow and terrorist channels will not disappear as long as ISIS and similar actors exist on the ground". On that occasion, he noted that "the teachings of Islam could be directed toward civil activity instead of toward politicization, and consequently, radicalization". In order to help the Middle East with this dilemma, he suggested the importance of European support by explaining that aid should be given to countries that take in refugees and policies should be reinforced in quelling terrorism worldwide.
