The US embassy reacted directly to Boyko Borissov over his use of a printed collage during a GERB political briefing on Wednesday, based on a photo of the international crew of the space shuttle "Columbia", which collapsed on its return to Earth in 2003.

The leader of the insurgent winning party in the recent repeat elections, Slavi Trifonov, is increasingly being compared to the country's autocratic and long-time chief Boyko Borissov.

GERB political leader Boyko Borissov met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Turkey on Saturday, which was shown from a video streamed on Borissov's Facebook page.
