Borisov was born in 1959 in Bankya (then a village, today a town, part of Stolichna Municipality) to Ministry of Internal Affairs official Metodi Borisov and elementary school teacher Veneta Borisova. Borisov has allegedly claimed that his grandfather was executed by the communists for being a Nikola Petkov supporter in the wake of the Bulgarian coup d’état of 1944. This has been disputed, however, as Nikola Petkov was still an ally of the communist insurgents in 1944. Furthermore, Borisov’s later rise within the ranks of communist-era security services would be unlikely with such family background. Other sources point that Borisov’s grandfather either died during a criminal incident, or that both his grandfathers died peacefully in the 1960s and 1970s.
