US ambassador to Bulgaria Kenneth Merten laid emphasis on the US’ non-interference in the domestic talks on the formation of a government and expressed disappointment that the efforts aimed at its formation have failed. The US ambassador added that the US was pleased with the progress the country has been making in the past 9 months. The US ambassador expressed the hope that this progress will continue after a new government is formed after the election, and stated the US believed that Bulgaria will adhere to the direction it has taken as an EU and NATO partner, adding there was no reason not to be optimistic about Bulgaria which will continue to play its role in this part of the world.
