After the Reformist Bloc returned the third and final mandate for forming a government in the current Parliament to President Rosen Plevneliev, he said he would not appoint a caretaker cabinet, which would have been the third one during his term in office. "The creation of two caretaker governments by two presidents in one and the same month would be a risky decision that would prevent continuity between institutions,” Plevneliev said, adding that he would give the right for appointing a caretaker government to President-elect Rumen Radev. A right and obligation of the newly elected president will be setting a specific date for early elections and dissolving the 43th National Assembly, President Plevneliev pointed out in his statement.
