Prime Minister Kiril Petkov will be summoned to the Prosecutor's Office for explanations in connection with his words that there were about 20 people in Bulgaria who were at the heart of economic crime, but the prosecutor's office had not taken any action. Petkov will have to present a complete list of people. The topic was discussed at a meeting held last Friday between Chief Prosecutor Ivan Geshev and Prime Minister Kiril Petkov at the Council of Ministers. The head of the Prime Minister's Office Lena Borislavova was also present at the conversation, so she will also be interrogated. Petkov’s comment about the 20 people who are not being investigated by the prosecutor's office was made in Brussels.

"I am happy to accept the invitation for interrogation at the prosecutor's office. I also have questions for them," PM Petkov has told journalists.
