 on July 21, he told reporters on Friday.

Caretaker Prime Minister Stefan Yanev, who attended the Guests
and Media Day of the 24th Exercise Breeze, a national drill of
the Bulgarian Navy with international participation, commented
in the Black Sea city of Varna that it would be too "exotic" to
have the caretaker cabinet act as a regular one. The cabinet
must be voted in office by Parliament, he said.

This idea was floated earlier this week by Maya Manolova, leader
 of the Rise Up! Thugs Out! coalition.

The caretaker cabinet is made up of experts without party
affiliation, said Yanev. "It is a non-partisan cabinet, those
people cannot be ordered to do something," he added.

Asked if he would accept to head a second caretaker government,
Yanev said this was a very far-fetched and near-impossible
hypothesis. RY/DD
