The GERB nominee for Prime Minister, Prof. Nikolay Gabrovski, meets today with representatives of the BSP and Democratic Bulgaria in an attempt to secure parliamentary support for his draft cabinet. However, the positions of the two opposition forces remain unchanged and they will vote against a government formed with the GERB-SDS mandate.

"Despite all speculations that the BSP and GERB have reached an agreement, we will be present tomorrow to tell him that we respect him as a professor and a doctor, but we support neither him nor the government proposed by him because GERB and Boyko Borissov are behind it", BSP leader Korneliya Ninova said.

"We will have a meeting to explain why we cannot support him. This is because of the corrupt practices of Borissov's government, as he is a representative and was proposed by GERB," the co-chairman of DB Atanas Atanasov commented.
