The President of the National Assembly Rosen Zhelyazkov says he does not expect President Rumen Radev to delay the procedure for the rotation of prime ministers. “There are no grounds for any such thing,” he told reporters in Blagoevgrad.

In March, PM Nikolai Denkov is to hand the post of prime minister over to current Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Mariya Gabriel.

According to Rosen Zhelyazkov, the rotation will take place within the deadline agreed on by We Continue the Change/Democratic Bulgaria (PP/DB) and GERB, and the process is being discussed “openly, transparently and predictability”.

“That is his decision, I cannot comment on the presidential institution,” the president of parliament said with regard to the absence of the head of state from the ceremony at which the new constitutional judges Desislava Atanasova and Borislav Belazelkov, who were elected on the parliamentary quote, were sworn in.
