The principal change is that the budget expenditure will be cut down by 2.4 billion Leva (a little over EUR 1.2 billion), the planned sum that should come from Gazprom for the transit of Russian gas.

On Wednesday, 22 November, GERB/SDS and the MRF are going be in parliament and are going to vote against the motion of no confidence in the government of Nikolai Denkov, submitted by the opposition over national security and defence.
