site.btaDemocratic Bulgaria: Prime Minister Nomination, Council of Ministers Composition Should Be Discussed After Reaching Governance Agreement

Democratic Bulgaria (DB) reaffirms its position that the nomination for prime minister and the composition of the Council of Ministers should be discussed at a leadership meeting only after a final agreement on the governance plan is reached, according to a statement from the party's press centre on Wednesday.

DB also calls on the GERB-UDF parliamentary group not to delay the first reading of amendments to the Judiciary System Act during Wednesday’s session. According to the statement, “the rule of law cannot be used as a bargaining chip in political negotiations for forming a government”.

Earlier in the day, the Executive Committee of GERB instructed the party’s negotiation team to continue talks with BSP-United Left and There Is Such a People (TISP) to form a regular government, the press office of the GERB-UDF coalition said.
