Bulgaria's Ruling Coalition Establishes Council for Development
Bulgaria's ruling coalition has merged parts of the executive and the legislature into a new body – the Council for development.
This was announced by Deputy Prime Minister for Coalition Policy and Public Administration Rumyana Bachvarova in an interview for the Bulgarian National Radio (BNR) on Sunday.
Bachvarova explained that this will be the body which will discuss all contentious issues in the ruling coalition as well as decide on issues related to the strategic development of the country.
The Deputy Prime Minister said that the body, which was constituted last week, will report to the Ministerial Council.
The coalition government is constituted of Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria (GERB) and the Reformist Bloc (RB), with the support of the Patriotic Front (PF) and the Alternative for Bulgarian Revival (ABV).
