Bulgaria spy row: Boiko Borisov seeks diplomat sackings: "Bulgarian PM Boiko Borisov has called for top diplomats revealed to be former communist secret service agents to be fired.
Mr Borisov said he would ask for the 45 diplomats, most of them ambassadors, to be replaced.
A commission on Tuesday said half of Bulgaria's envoys to the EU had been involved with the secret service.
President Georgi Purvanov rejected Mr Borisov's demand, Bulgarian media report.
The Secret Files Commission said the ambassadors to Germany, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Sweden, Greece and Portugal had been agents of the notorious Darzhavna Sigurnost secret service.
The country's envoys to Tokyo and Moscow are also among the names mentioned in the report.
'Imagine these agents in Western European countries,' Mr Borisov said on Wednesday.
'They once worked against them as ideological enemies and now they are representing our government there,' he added."
