The Ministry of Finance is preparing a draft budget in which the indicators fully meet the Maastricht criteria, that is, for entry into the Eurozone. For now, Bulgaria plans to do this in 2025.

"Even before the elections, I said that the only good thing is an expert, broad government, but if it doesn't happen - then one between the first two parties. I think that Denkov and Gabriel are very close to making a decision. But until they agree, we haven't agreed on anything". This was stated by GERB leader Boyko Borissov on the sidelines of the parliament.

On Tuesday evening, pro-EU protesters will rally near the presidency and the Ministerial Council in Sofia, accusing President Rumen Radev of undermining the parliamentary system and hampering efforts to form a government after a two years of repeated elections.

The co-chairman of "We Continue the Change" Asen Vassilev was questioned today at the Sofia District Prosecutor's Office. He told journalists that he did not know what he was called for.

Radostin Vassilev, who published the recordings of the extended meeting of the leadership of "We Continue the Change", announced on the National Television that he was afraid for his life and that he was under police protection.

"Today were confirmed the things we warned you about yesterday. Apparently, the possibility of forming a regular government to reform the services and bring Bulgaria into Schengen is the main reason for today's attack". This was stated by the co-chairman of "We Continue the Change" Kiril Petkov at a briefing in the parliament.

"We are seeing attempts from all sides to block the government. I think it is clear that there are reasons for this," the candidate for prime minister from "We Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria" Nikolay Denkov told journalists in the parliament.

The Bulgarian banker Tzvetan Vassilev has again been declared an internationally wanted man. According to information from the National Radio, a European Arrest Warrant was issued for him last week, and since this week he has been submitted for search by Interpol. The reason is a new investigation against him, which the Sofia City Prosecutor's Office is working on.

"If 'We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria' (WCC-DB) forms a coalition with GERB, in the next elections the first political force will be 'Vazrazhdane'". This is what Asen Vassilev, the co-chairman of "We Continue the Change", told Nova TV.

In the past year, Ukraine bought a huge amount of fuel from Bulgaria, which was produced from Russian oil. This is according to the data of the Bulgarian National Statistical Institute, provided to EURACTIV Bulgaria.
