The caretaker Government is guided by professionalism and observes the Bulgarian legislation, said here on Friday caretaker Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev, commenting the procedure for replacing Borislav Muerov as Executive Director of the Road Transport Administration Executive Agency.

"We see that there is dissatisfaction on the part of citizens, we are checking whether it is justified, and we have found it to be justified, therefore he [Muerov] has been dismissed," Glavchev said.

He said that since the beginning the caretaker government has been equidistant from all political parties.

"We have no political support inside Parliament and it shows. Moreover, as a result of the changes made in the Constitution conerning the caretaker government, the previous caretaker governments appointed by the President had the comfort of at least him protecting them, and you see that we don't have that comfort either. The basic principle is that you can have any political bias, but you should never show it in your work," Glavchev said.

He added that his political bias was the opposite of the decision of the Council of Ministers to propose to President Rumen Radev to issue a decree to award communist-era culture minister Georgi Yordanov with the Order of the Balkan Range for his great services in the field of culture and art, which caused tension in the National Assembly.

"However, this does not prevent us from making this decision given there is a proposal by an initiative committee with many people [on it], by committees from the Ministry of Culture, by the Minister of Culture," the caretaker Prime Minister said.

Glavchev inspected on the spot the traffic at the border crossing point between Ruse and Romania's Guirgui and the progress of repair works on Danube Bridge.
