Bulgaria’s new caretaker cabinet held its first sitting only two hours after it took office. According to caretaker Premier Stefan Yanev, the main priority of the new caretaker cabinet will be to prepare the forthcoming two-in-one elections on November 14 and guarantee that the elections will be held in compliance with the rules.

Premier Yanev highlighted some inherited problems that need solving: “The case regarding the money owed to the construction sector is among the problems that were planned to come to the fore during the term of office of a caretaker cabinet”, said Stefan Yanev. “The situation in this country’s energy sphere is similar. We need to rethink the concept of its development and consider fundamental structural changes. Difficult months requiring maximum effort are in the offing”, Premier Stefan Yanev added.
