GERB-SDS, "We Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria" (PP-DB), one deputy from the BSP and ITN voted "against". 17 MPs abstained.

Meanwhile, at the Maritime Station in Burgas, Chief Commissioner Rositsa Dimitrova, Director of the Main Directorate "Border Police", broke the bottle for the christening of a new border ship. It is called "Balchik". It costs 15 million euros. 
The ship was delivered by the European agency FRONTEX for the protection of the external sea border of Bulgaria.
