Bulgarian Prime Minister in resignation Kiril Petkov has told BNR that he will be the candidate for prime minister of his party "We Continue the Change", when it received a new mandate to form a government. He said he would not negotiate with the opposition parties that toppled his first cabinet.
The politician expressed concern that a future caretaker government could restore links between Gazprom and Bulgaria without strategy against energy dependence on the Russian state-owned monopolist.
Speaking about the parliament's decision to lift the veto over North Macedonia's negotiations with the EU, Petkov pointed out that Skopje now has a choice for its future and Bulgaria was no longer responsible for its choice.
