Prime Minister Boyko Borissov has met with key cabinet ministers, GERB officials told the Bulgarian National Radio. They discussed three options for overcoming the turbulent political situation in the country. 

The first scenario is for the resignation of the government, a caretaker cabinet and early elections. This options is assessed as risky for the country's major energy projects. 

The second scenario is to appoint a transitional expert government to complete the term with new ministers and a new prime minister, following a no-confidence vote next week. 

The third option is to replace all ministers, put the prime minister on leave until the end of the term and have the position of prime minister be performed by the deputy prime minister, which is also assessed as risky. 

The final decision will be made after the return of Prime Minister Borissov from Brussels and the meeting of the EU Council.
