He received his doctorate there in 1974 under Vassil Tzankov and completed his habilitation in 1981. From 1975 to 1995 Breskovski was curator and research assistant for the paleontological collection of the Museum of Natural History in Sofia.

Breskovski's specialty were the ammonites of the Lower Cretaceous ( Barremium ). But he was also very interested in the implications of paleontological research for the theory of evolution , paleoecology , geochronology and chronostratigraphy . He also made good contacts with colleagues from Europe , especially from France .
