Bulgarian Lawyers Receive Georgetown Degrees
Raya Dimova, a public prosecutor for the city of Sofia, and Hristina Valtcheva, legal counsel for the Financial Supervision Commission of Bulgaria, received master degrees from the Georgetown University Law Center this spring. The two women won scholarships from the East Central European Scholarship Program (ECESP) funded by USAID. Both also received additional tuition scholarships toward completing LLM degrees from Georgetown. They will return to their home institutions to apply the knowledge they acquired while at Georgetown; Ms. Valtcheva will also resume teaching at Sofia University and Ms. Dimova has secured a three-month scholarship to intern at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague.
More than 120 Bulgarians have studied at Georgetown under the ECESP program, including the current Minister of Euro-Integration Meglena Kuneva, who attended the program in 1999.
