From 2007 Andrey Kovatchev is a Vice- chairman of the Committee on Foreign Policy and European Affairs and Vice – International Secretary of political party GERB.

Andrey Kovatchev became a Member of the European Parliament after the elections in 2009 form the ticket of PP GERB.

Kovatchev is a Member and a vice-chair of the European Parliament Committee on Foreign Affairs; he is a member of the Subcommittee on Security and Defence and the Delegation of the European Union to the United States; He is a Substitute of the Committee on Regional Development and in the Delegation for Relations with the countries of Southeast Asia and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

From 2011, Kovatchev supports a website that brings to light the repressive methods of the communist regime in Bulgaria (1944–1989).

According to Kovatchev ’’The law is not a whim of the Minister of Foreign Affairs as his opponents present it, this is continuation of a battle, as old as the Bulgarian transition.

He considers that the integration of Western Balkans is the only way to peace and prosperity in this region, Kovatchev has stated many times his support to the reformist governments with a European orientation.

For the first time the Resolution "underlines the importance of the preservation and maintenance of the cultural heritage, which is a pillar of European values and principles" Furthermore, the European Parliament "notes with regrets that numerous cemeteries, fresco inscriptions and artefacts, which belong to the Bulgarian cultural heritage, have been totally abandoned and ruined".

[2] Kovatchev has expressed on numerous occasions his concern about ’’the discrimination in North Macedonia, especially for the citizens who candid announced their Bulgarian self-consciousness.

Unfortunately, in many cases these people have been abused and they have been victims of arbitrary judgments, denial of work rights, politically motivated arrests and imprisonment".

In Kovatchev's point of view it is very important for the integration of Macedonia in Europe that people are familiar with the objective history of their own country.

Kovatchev repeatedly reminds the Macedonian politicians the difficult steps of Bulgaria on its way to United Europe, last but not least because of the influence of the former secret services in the economic and political life of the country.
