The first meeting of the BSP with "We Continue the Change" in the negotiations over forming a government with the mandate of the BSP continued for just half an hour. We did not discuss the composition before talks with the other partners and we do not have the support of 121 MPs, BSP leader Kornelia Ninova said.

"We Continue the Change" have requested that the talks continue until the changes in the anti-corruption legislation are adopted by the parliament.

Ninova added that efforts to restore relations with Russia and talks with all possible gas suppliers, including Gazprom, are included in the program of the future administration. She did not rule out the possibility of early elections if the negotiations failed.
