In talks with the President, we proposed a programmatic government with a clear programme. As the smallest party, we have no right to form it, but we want to know what this government will do, what commitments it will make and in what time frame. So far, no one has answered these questions, said Nikolay Markov of the Velichie party, leader of the smallest parliamentary group, after the consultations with the president.

"From the very beginning of the formation of the National Assembly, we have been trying to establish a dialogue between the political leaders, who are the only ones who bear political responsibility," Markov said. He stressed that he knew nothing about the minority government proposed by GERB leader Boyko Borissov.

After political consultations with the parliamentary forces, the president should announce when he would give the first mandate to form a government.
