Summary/Abstract: In the article the author describes the unknown, but existing in the People’s Library “Cyril and Methodis” diary of Dr. Vasil Radoslavov, written when he was a Prime Minister of Bulgaria from 1914 to 1916. The notes cast additional light upon the foreign politics of Bulgaria at that time and the diplomatic acti¬vity of Sofia with the Antanta and the Central powers, and also with the Balkan states which try to draw Bulgaria on their side. Vasil Radoslavov has written with details his impressions of the accredited in Sofia diplomats and about the reports of the Bulgarian diplomats abroad, there are summaries of his talks with Ferdinand. Considerable place take the relations with Austro-Hungary and Germany to and after the participation of Bulgaria on their side in World War One, about the loan from Germany and Austria. The diary fully confirms his and of tzar Ferdinand guilt – that they are orientated during the First World War to Austro-Hungary and Germany and methodically have prepared Bulgaria to take part in the war on their side, nevertheless the presence of a strong opposition in the country, which has thought, as history has rightly proved, that this chosen way is disastrous.
