Summary/Abstract: The article examines certain requirements towards the diplomat, namely to objectively inform, to reasonably predict and offer not what will appeal to superiors, but ideas, in which they believe would be useful to their country, even if they are in conflict with the official state policy. Milan Milanov is one of the most striking examples of an impressive successful diplomatic career in the last century. He started his career in the UN as an attache, who often edited and corrected errors in the documents of the international organization; then he became an ambassador to France and a representative of Bulgaria to the United Nations. He is one of the leading Bulgarian journalists, talented Bulgarian diplomat, founder of the Department of “International Law and International Relations” and Vice-Dean of the Faculty of Law and History of the South-West University “Neofit Rilski” – Blagoevgrad. He has left indelible traces in the minds of thousands of students whose lecturer he has been for over 20 years. Prof. Milanov has also been a Director of the Diplomatic Institute to the Minister of Foreign Affairs for four years.
