President Rumen Radev did not say whether he would sign decrees for the replacement of two ministers – the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Agriculture, as requested by caretaker Premier Dimitar Glavchev. President Radev invited Glavchev to a meeting on Friday to present his motives for the requested changes

According to him, the dismissal of ministers a week after they were sworn in is another proof of the failure of the constitutional reform. ''I very much hope Mr. Glavchev is aware of the damage to the cabinet and to the credibility of the electoral process'', President Radev said. He strongly opposed the nomination of Daniel Mitov for the position of Foreign Minister. "So far, I have not appointed a deputy chairman of a political party in my caretaker cabinets", Rumen Radev said.
