Representatives of GERB and the Reformist Bloc hold discussions today over the realization of the mandate for forming a new government in the current Parliament, as the mandate was given to the reformers by President Rosen Plevneliev.

According to the Constitution, if the third mandate is rejected and returned the president should appoint a caretaker government and after stepping in office in late January his successor Rumen Radev should dissolve the parliament and set a date for early elections.
