In her report of the 4th year of her term of office, Vice-President Iliana Iotova called for a change of the model of governance so that Bulgarians from near and far may be able to identify with the country's administration. 

“We, Bulgarians must find our own place in a changed and uncertain new world. If we want to be ready for it we must first change our own country! That is what the people in the streets of protest in Bulgaria and the world have been saying, that is what we are seeing in the e-mails of those who are abroad,” Iliana Iotova points out.

“Our partners must understand that there is no way we can allow propaganda and hate speech to predominate towards a country member of the EU. We shall make no compromise with regard to any attempts at separatist sentiments which have for decades been breeding tension between the two countries,” Vice-President Iotova said commenting on the controversies with North Macedonia.
