Ministry of Foreign Affairs staff organized a protest in Nezavisimost square in the centre of Sofia as a token of support for the statement made by caretaker PM Galab Donev in parliament that assistance will be sought in order to attain a written agreement, soon, between the staff and the administration of the ministry.

The staff of the Bulgarian Foreign Ministry initiated strike action on 2 December demanding higher pay, indexation of short and long-term posting allowances, and an end to the practice of reducing the basic salary of staff in the event of long-term postings.
