Regardless of how the dispute with neighbour North Macedonia ends - an issue that divided the coalition - the political confrontation will only deepen.

The regular sitting of the National Assembly failed after three unsuccessful attempts to establish a quorum in the plenary hall.

Vladislav Panev has resigned as deputy chairman of the Parliament Group of "Democratic Bulgaria" because of the selfie with Delyan Peevski, reported BNT

Mladenov denied the allegations, saying he founded the firm to develop a consultancy practice that never operated because of his involvement in the UN. 

The National Revenue Agency (NRA) Tuesday said it has requested additional data from the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) in Washington about Bulgarian natural and legal persons who feature in the newly published Pandora Papers investigation.
