Bulgaria’s printed media accentuates on Monday on the saga related to the formation of the country’s new regular cabinet after the early Parliamentary elections held on March 26. The newspapers focus on the talks between GERB and the Patriotic Front. A new cabinet will not be formed by end April, Sega daily frontpages a headline quoting the forecast of GERB MP Vladislav Goranov. We have not registered a significant progress in our talks with the United Patriots, Vladislav Goranov admits.
