Antoinette Primatarova

We are very sad to hear that our dear colleague Antoinette Primatarova has passed away.

Besides her role as Programme Director at the Centre for Liberal Strategies in Sofia, Antoinette was directly involved in preparing Bulgaria’s EU accession in various roles: as Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador to the European Communities and as Deputy Chief Negotiator.

Many of you will know her from our work on the 2CU projects, where Antoinette co-authored with us three books and met with us multiple times across Europe. Besides that, she has been actively involved in the EPIN network ever since its existence and contributed with the Bulgarian angle and her sharp analysis on many issues.

Antoinette was an outstanding expert on EU politics and a wonderful person. She will be missed.
