Simeon Mitropolitski is a Canadian analyst, of Bulgarian descent, and former syndicated columnist with the Bulgarian
News Agency (BTA). He is the author of several hundred articles dealing with the hot political
and economic topics, both Bulgarian and international.
("A Royal Solution." World Press Review. June 1997, provides English versions).
He was part of the first group of Bulgarian intellectuals that began the opposition movement that
finally put an end to the communist regime in the country, and in 1996-1997 participated in the
international monitors' teams during the elections in several Balkan countries - Romania, Albania and Bulgaria.
In 1999 he was among the few Bulgarian journalists that supported NATO military operation against
Yugoslavia. In 2002 Simeon and his family emigrated from Bulgaria to Canada where they now
live in Montreal, Quebec.
