“You have put forward four options for a way out of the crisis, you have carried out negotiations in all possible formats, taking into consideration the demands of all the rest, you have asked for some kind of clear plan on what reforms to conduct, what regulations to have amended at a temporary chairmanship of the municipal council, but you get no constructiveness in exchange,” Boris Bonev said. The main problem the capital city faces is that the deadlines for the European programmes will be missed and the municipal budget will not be adopted, he said further.
