The leader of the Velichie [Grandeur] party Nikolay Markov will not take part in the talks for a cabinet with the negotiating team nominated by GERB-UDF, Markov told BTA here on Thursday. Markov specified that his party being represented in Parliament is yet to decide whether it would support a government with GERB-UDF's first mandate, once the government's plans and programme become clear.

Earlier Thursday, GERB leader Boyko Borissov made a request to form a government with the first mandate and nominated a negotiating team to start talks on Monday. The team includes Raya Nazaryan, Temenuzhka Petkova and Denitsa Sacheva.

Markov refused to negotiate with GERB's team, saying that this process does not adhere to the procedure specified in the Bulgarian Constitution.
