Vice President Iliana Iotova expressed hope that the parliamentary forces will do everything possible to gather a majority to form a cabinet.

"Bulgaria needs a stable government", Vice President Iotova said in the town of Panagyurishte, adding that it is the political forces' job to find the best formula and a credible program to move the country forward.

"I dare to hope that on Friday the first step was made with the election of National Assembly speaker and the Parliament will return to its role", commented Iliana Iotova. ''We are waiting for the adoption of the budget'', said Vice President Iotova and added that work on the laws related to the Recovery and Resilience Plan should begin as soon as possible, as the country is on the verge of losing the second tranche.
