"The referee camps are useful"...
-You growed very fast in the referee`s profession, you made an incredible progress for 5 years.How you`ll explain that?

-I behaved very serious in every match, which was entrust to me,I wanted to "do it" in the best way.With their advises the ex respected referees helped me -Milko Nikov , Gocho Rusev and others.My participationin the Methodical congress of referee`s commission of BFS, helped me for my theoretical knowledges, raised my qualification.

- On the field you make impression of calm person, who save his self-control.When there are difficult situations and tension and the match is impended don`t you make compromises?

-I make compromises only when the statement of the players still permit some toleration.To stop the fights I use the "note" too.But when I have to stay in fron of brutal actions I don`t hesitate to take out the red cartoon, even if that brings me head ache.

-How you stand the critics in the newspapers, when you are made some mistakes on a football match?

-When the critics doesn`t destroy the good manners and reflect true my mistakes , I accept them .I learn from them to not do them again.

-And when they are groundless?

-In this case I feel deep pain and deep grief.In the next matches I want to prove that they aren`t right .But I don`t search revenge.

-In a public space there are accusations that the referees are corubted , that they are under a pressure of football bosses, to be in their side.Do you accept these accusations?

-Is true that there is many accusations for the referees , mostly for their honestly.When they have to be proved that someone had taken money , they no present proofes.If a collegue fall in this temptation (that happens in the international practic too), the punishment has to be uncompromising.

-From 2 weeks the referee commission call you in camps days before the matches in our first legue.How you accept that?

-My first impression is that there is a use from these camps.On them we are calmer before a match.Nobody can react us on the telephone or at home .We notice and analyse together the friday`s match in the legue.One more time we talk for the criterions in many questions.

-During the last year you were a referee on a international matches , between them one qualification for the world cup Armenia-Belarus (0-0).How is to be referee on an international field.

-The pressure in this matches is not so big.The players are disciplined and for a difference from ours accept the referee`s decisions.We show not so much cartoons.The public is objective , applaud the good actions of the both teams.

-You came back from a trip in Switzerland .What did you do there?

-The conference was organized from the referee commission of UEFA in it`s central in Nion for joung international referees.In the group were included 30 people from Europe, of who UEFA will depend on in the future.The three days were full with actual questions from the practic and fisical preparation.Every referee has a guardian , who cares of his development .My guardian is the czech Carel Bohunek, whith whom I keep in touch every week, I inform him for the matches on which I have been a referee.We will be observed until the end of the year in the international matches and in the our legue too.

-Have you some prolems of using your profession as a vet. doctor because of your other profession?

-I`m a general expert in a vet. protection of health in the National veterinary institution in Sofia.My bosses undersatnd my referee`s cantacts , for that I want to thank them .

-What`s your hobby in your free time?

- I like to read books , mostly historical and criminal romans.I go often to a cinema, and I love to swim.

-Do you have some princips in the referee carrer?

- First for me is the fisical preparation, I train 4 times in the week .I aim to be right and objective not to affect from the result.
