On February 5 the People’s Party Freedom and Dignity (NPSD) is to hold coalition talks with the Democrats for Responsibility, Freedom and Tolerance (DOST) headed by Lutvi Mestan, NPSD leader Orhan Ismailov announced on Saturday. The purpose of the possible coalition is to create a strong alternative to the Movement for Rights and Freedoms, Orhan Ismailov further said. NPSD aims at broadening the center-right political space in Bulgaria, Ismailov went on to say. NPSD will decide whether to leave the Reformist Bloc after the meeting with DOST. On Friday the chairman of the election headquarters of the Reformist Bloc Petre Moscov said that a coalition with DOST was unacceptable for the Reformist Bloc.
