The president will not make political projects, as he is being pushed in this direction, Vice President Iliana Yotova has told Nova TV. The desire for parliamentary elections exists in Bulgarian voters and in their political representations. But there are too many unknown things in order to say which date will be the best for elections. According to Yotova, people from the scientific community would decide on the topic of whether holding the elections was safe at the backdrop of the epidemic.

The vice president said she had reservations towards the practice of giving the vaccine to statespersons first. The first quantities should be for people who need it the most, but there is no information campaign on vaccines in the country, she added.
