"It is not normal to go to early elections for the fifth time. A regular government must be formed. Otherwise, we should think about changing the electoral system", GERB leader Boyko Borissov said at a press conference in the town of Yambol (Southeastern Bulgaria). 

On Monday, Bulgaria’s President is expected to hand over the third and final government-forming mandate. "GERB will wait until President Rumen Radev names the holder of the third mandate and then will participate in talks with all parties," Boyko Borissov added. In his word, the only working and possible coalition is the Euro-Atlantic coalition.
