Finance Minister Asen Vassilev said that negotiations between "We Continue - Democratic Bulgaria" (PP-DB) and GERB-SDS on the rotation of power in the government would take place on Friday (March 8), Saturday and Sunday

Mr Vassilev expected minimal changes in the composition of the government. In his view, the most important thing in the negotiations is to work out the details of the functioning of the regulatory bodies - to ensure a composition that is resistant to political influence. Vassilev reported that the Finance Ministry had implemented all the measures set out in the government's programme for the past nine months.

Following the resignation of the government, which was accepted by Parliament, President Rumen Radev will hold consultations with the six parliamentary groups before giving the first exploratory mandate for the formation of a cabinet to the largest group in the 49th National Assembly - that of GERB-SDS.
