September 11 (BTA) - President Rumen Radev
will schedule parliamentary and presidential elections
simultaneously on November 14. "I will dissolve Parliament
as quickly as possible in line with the Constitution, the
Election Code and the statutory time for issuing a decree and
will schedule two-in-one elections on November 14," said
President Rumen Radev in Pleven on Saturday.

"In this way we will save money and more importantly people's
time. Another important thing is that the two campaigns for the
parliamentary and the presidential elections will take part
simultaneously," he added.


"I am a firm supporter of supraparty consensus and I will rely
on the support of all decent Bulgarians to rally for the big
goals: the fight against poverty and lawlessness and for free
and prosperous Bulgaria. I think that the presidential campaign
will be another guide for Bulgarian voters as to which parties
and politicians are working for the future and which are
defending corruption schemes and the system," said the head of
State.

He underscored that he expects from the next caretaker
government to continue to work to stamp out corruption from
Bulgarian institutions and work transparently and responsibly to
 the benefit of Bulgarian citizens.

Ahead of his remarks to the media President Rumen Radev attended
 observances in Pleven marking the 144th anniversary of the
beginning of the third assault for the liberation of the city in
 the Russo-Turkish war. Radev paid tribute to those who died for
 Bulgaria's liberation in the Skobelev Park Museum next to the
Pleven Epopee 1877 Panorama and laid a wreath at the ossuary in
the park. After the observances at the Panorama the head of
State presented the President' Badge of Honour to former Pleven
Mayor Andrey Romanov (1971-1979) and architects Ivo Petrov and
Plamena Tsacheva who played a pivotal role in the construction
of the Panorama.

Attending the observances was Russian Ambassador Eleonora
Mitrofanova. PP
