Former ambassador and diplomat, Nano Ruzhin, stated that definitively tracing the origin or publisher of a specific diplomatic note is impossible. He explained that the original document might have been submitted to the Ministry and subsequently lost, making its provenance untraceable, particularly given that the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has denied any involvement. Ruzhin suggested that the incident could be attributed to a simple administrative lapse or a communication error.
However, he used the situation to issue a cautionary statement regarding the handling of sensitive materials. He stressed that such incidents highlight the necessity for greater diligence concerning confidential documentation. “A note, by its very nature, must remain secret,” Ruzhin emphasized.
He drew a clear distinction between the accidental documentation of public events—such as a tourist photographing people at a beach or hotel—and the handling of official correspondence. For Ruzhin, a diplomatic note constitutes a strictly confidential and classified document, requiring a level of secrecy far exceeding that of casual observation. His comments underscore the critical importance of maintaining the confidentiality protocols surrounding official diplomatic communications.
