Recently murdered insurance tycoon Alexey Petrov "provided the logistics" for a meeting between Continue the Change (CC) leaders Kiril Petkov and Assen Vassilev and GERB leader Boyko Borissov, at a time when the two parties were at serious odds following "illegal arrests, mass arrests by their Interior Ministry", Borissov told the media in Burgas on Saturday.

"The speculation that this government is formed thanks to Alexey Petrov is speculation. He provided the logistics. Alexey and Kiril Petkov's father were not present, it was me, Kiril [Petkov] and Assen [Vassilev], we agreed to find a way to form a cabinet," Borissov said. The meeting was not attended by representatives of Democratic Bulgaria" because GERB and Continue the Change were the two major parties, he explained.
