This seems fine, there are just a few minor issues:

There should be no "?" in dates, see Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(dates_and_numbers)#Longer_periods
The word "eminent" in the lead seems a bit POV, "prominent" would probably be better.
The heading "Biography" is redundant - this is all his biography.
The term "despot" needs to be wikilinked in the main text, but should probably also be briefly explained.
The Бакалов book can't be found by following the ISBN link.
The bibliography should be alphabetical (I wouldn't know how to do that...) Lampman (talk) 12:39, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the review! I have introduced all changes that you suggested. I am aware of the issue with the Бакалов ISBN, I suspect this is because the source is an electronic (CD-based) encyclopedia which libraries normally would not have hold of. Should I remove the ISBN or retain it? Best, Todor →Bozhinov

Better to keep it if it's actually correct. Perhaps use the "format=" parameter to explain that it's an electronic resource. Thanks for your work! Lampman (talk) 04:59, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Thank you for your review! All the best, Todor →Bozhinov 06:11, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
