Summary/Abstract: The article presents and analyses the existing overlap between the high-level administrative elite of Walachia and Moldova, and Eastern Rumelia, on the one hand, and the new Romanian and Bulgarian national governmental elites in the late 19th century, on the other hand. Focusing on the continuity/discontinuity of the elites the author addresses the topic by using a prosopographical approach: group/s of the Romanian and Bulgarian ministers belonging to the first generation of the newly established national political elite are presented through the lens of their routes to political carriers with an emphasis on the influence of the accumulated imperial experience.
