A meeting of representatives of the political groups in the Sofia Municipal Council, organized by "Sinya Sofia" and Carlos Contrera of VMRO, has ended without a definite solution to the problems in the council. The purpose of the talks was to negotiate a way out of the crisis related to the election of chair. BSP and Vazrazhdane did not respond to the call for meeting.

"GERB-SDS proposes a coalition agreement, while we, the initiators of the meeting, and most of the participants see the solution in a temporary chairman until the adoption of the budget", said Vili Lilkov from "Sinya Sofia". He expressed the hope that a decision will be reached by January 11, when the next meeting of the council will take place.

So far, the Sofia Municipal Council has failed five times in its attempts to elect its chair.
