"It is an honour to take on the responsible position of President of Radio FM+, Elena Kiskinova said. I feel proud with the achievements of our radio and believe that the experience acquired over the past 15 years provides good and sound foundations for future success! With the professional support of Emmis International we will be facing new prospects for growth and development. Our ambitions are to maintain our leading position on the radio market in Bulgaria." 

Elena Kiskinova has been with Radio FM+ for the past 12 years in the role of Sales Director and Member of the Board of Directors. Outgoing Radio FM+ President and General Manager Petar Pountchev announced his resignation in order to reunite with his family in Kiev, Ukraine, and will pursue other business opportunities there. "We are sorry to lose Petar's dynamic personality but completely understand and support his desire to be with his family full-time. The team of people at Radio FM+ are very  professional  and  we are very confident that the station will continue to perform well under Kiskinova's leadership" quoted Paul Fiddick, President of Emmis International.

"Some people dream of their 15 minutes of fame, I had my 15 years with Radio FM+. I gave everything I could, I regard  it and will always regard it my third child. I leave it in good health and in good hands, said  Petar Pountchev"

Mr. Pountchev has been for years one of the most active Board Members of the BBLF Managing Board and has contributed to a great extent for the development of the Forum. The BBLF team wishes him a lot of success and happiness in the future!
