Vazrazhdane and There Is Such a People (ITN), despite some reservations connected with the changes to the Constitution, expressed the hope that the caretaker cabinet will genuinely organize fair elections for parliament. Reshuffles in the caretaker cabinet can be made until Monday evening. On Tuesday morning, the president will issue a decree approving it, after which decrees will also be issued regarding the elections for National Assembly of Bulgaria and for European Parliament.
