“As concerns the cabinet – the negotiations continue. There is progress, until everything has been agreed I will not discuss names,” said Nikolay Denkov, prime minister designate of We Continue the Change/Democratic Bulgaria (PP/DB) in parliament.

“The information that the interior ministry will be given to GERB is not true, there’s no such thing. We are looking for an expert, a specialist, a non-political figure proven in their work,” Nikolay Denkov said further. He confirmed that GERB had presented their own nominees for ministers. “We are discussing them with Mariya Gabriel. They are nominations which she put on the table,” Nikolay Denkov said. “The things that are being floated – that the cabinet is going to be 50/50 (between PP/DB and GERB) are just not true,” he added.
