Caretaker Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev offers Daniel Mitov to take the position of caretaker Minister of Foreign Affairs, replacing career diplomat Stefan Dimitrov. This was announced by the press service of the Council of Ministers. The proposal must be approved by President Rumen Radev. The prime minister motivated the replacement with the need for "timely and responsible coordination and communication between members of the caretaker government, as well as with allies and partners."

Hours before the news emerged, while speaking to voters in Sofia, GERB leader Boyko Borisov said: "I was sure that Gen. Atanas Zapryanov would not budge from NATO positions and the support for Ukraine. Unlike the foreign minister. GERB is responsible for the defense minister. We bear no responsibility for the foreign minister. And if Glavchev does not replace him, he will not have any support. Because he is changing the doctrine that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and our party had."
