At the final stage in the formation of a future regular cabinet of Bulgaria it is noticeable that the political processes are not proceeding according to the usual democratic logic, said the caretaker Prime Minister Stefan Yanev.

"In my opinion, citizens have the right to know the answers to several important questions - who determines the priorities and positions in the potential new cabinet and the logic of political consultations," Yanev commented at the beginning of the cabinet meeting today, calling for a clear communication between political parties and citizens. 
"Citizens also need to be able to understand the logic of how political consultations are conducted and how they will lead to the formation of a working parliamentary majority," the caretaker prime minister added.
