Thursday's parliamentary sitting began with 176 MPs. The parliamentary hearing of Finance Minister Temenuzhka Petkova and Agriculture and Food Minister Georgi Tahov on the establishment of store chains to trade in food and other basic necessities with priority Bulgarian producers with a trade mark-up of up to 10% was cancelled. It will probably be held next week so that the topic can be debated in more detail, said Stoyu Stoev MP of Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria, who made the proposal to drop the point. He added that the topic was discussed at the presiding council.

The first item on the agenda is the second vote on a bill to ratify Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA) BU-P-LBI for the acquisition of communications security equipment.

MPs will vote on the first vote of no confidence in the Zhelyazkov cabinet at 1:45 p.m.
