The formed negotiating team is entirely female - Mariya Gabriel, Temenuzka Petkova, Raya Nazaryan and Denitsa Sacheva. 

"If we have not reached an agreement with the PP-DB by March 8, we will go to elections," GERB leader Boyko Borisov said a few days ago. 

Highlights of the proposal are the demand for equally shared responsibility for government decision between the GERB-SDS and PP-DB coalitions, as well as for the rotations in the government after the upcoming one to be awt 15 months instead of 9. 

The division of ministries between GERB-SDS and PP-DB, as well as the composition of the regulatory authorities is also examined.
