Bulgarian President Rumen Radev will hold a meeting with members of the parliamentary group "We Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria" (PP-DB), the press service of the president announced. The conversation will be at Dondukov 2 at 4:00 p.m., on July 15 at the initiative of PP-DB. 
The coalition will try to convince Radev to delay the handing over of the second mandate in order to give the parliament time to implement some of the reforms that have been significantly delayed, write the 24 Chasa and Dnevnik sites. 

The Constitution does not provide for an exact term in which the president must deliver the second mandate to form a government. But constitutionalists have always emphasized that the delay must be within a reasonable time.

The leader of Vazrazhdane party Kostadin Kostadinov called on the PP-DB to return the mandate to form a government as soon as they receive it. According to him, a possible request to postpone its handing over by two months is a public admission of impotence.
