Mihail Mikov

Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP)'s leader Mihail Mikov is expected to propose changes to the party's Executive Bureau to address the crisis socialists are undergoing in the last year.

The Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) will vote against the new center-right government on Friday, the party's head Mihail Mikov said in Parliament.

His comments came ahead of the lawmakers' move to vote on the cabinet lineup announced the previous day by Prime Minister candidate and conservative GERB's leader Boyko Borisov.

The leadership of the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) has formally recommended lawmakers from the party to vote against the new government when names are to be put forward for a motion in Parliament.

GERB's Tsetska Tsacheva was overwhelmingly approved Parliament Speaker of the 43rd National Assembly.

The Bulgarian Socialist Party will throw its support behind all projects of national importance, the party's Chairman Mihail Mikov said at the 43rd National Assembly's inaugural session.

Even the prospects of a hypothetical coalition to govern Bulgaria are slim, conservative GERB's leader Boyko Borisov announced after meeting socialist counterpart Mihail Mikov.

GERB will complete the second round of consultations over potential formation of a government coalition with talks with Socialists on Friday.

The Socialists will take part on a second round of consultations over forming a government coalition if GERB extended an invitation for meaningful political negotiations, Socialist leader Mihail Mikov said on Tuesday.

He, however, stopped short of indicating whether the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) is ready to make concessions and render support to GERB.

All GERB ministers' names are in my head, party leader Boyko Borisov saild.

He made the comment in an interview with daily Trud, when asked whether former Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov will take over the insitution for a second time.

Boyko Borisov, whose centre-right GERB party came top in the recent general election, is ready to give ministerial posts to other parties in exchange for their support, he said in an interview.

Borisov told the Pressa daily that he was willing to make compromises in exchange for support for his government, but would not accept conditions for posts.
