The support for the nomination of Atanas Atanasov for National Assembly Speaker is linked to support for Boyko Borissov as a candidate for prime minister, GERB MP Daniel Mitov said in an interview for the Bulgarian National Radio. "Everything can be decided when we start real and effective negotiations", added Daniel Mitov.

Speaking for BNR, ''Yes, Bulgaria!’’ MP Bozhidar Bozhanov said that We Continue the Change – Democratic Bulgaria" (PP-DB) insists on its proposal for a leadership meeting with GERB-SDS. He recalled the coalition's position that discussions about mandates can be held with all parliamentary parties, except for "Vazrazhdane" and "DPS – New Beginning", provided that they support the declaration for a cordon sanitaire around Delyan Peevski.

According to Bozhidar Bozhanov, the idea of PP-DB for an equidistant premier does not mean that the proposal should come from their coalition. "The candidate can be found jointly by collecting proposals from all political forces", said Bozhidar Bozhanov.
