Negotiations for the formation of a regular government within the 51st National Assembly have not resumed at this stage. At the end of last week, GERB-SDS announced that they were terminating the negotiations with Democratic Bulgaria, BSP-United Left and There is Such a People due to the refusal of Democratic Bulgaria to support a GERB candidate for prime minister. After Democratic Bulgaria’s refusal to support the first nomination of GERB-SDS for prime minister, that of party leader Boyko Borissov, GERB-SDS nominated Rosen Zhelyazkov, but his nomination was also rejected. 

Manol Genov from BSP – United Left told the Bulgarian National Radio that, at this stage, they have not received an invitation to resume the negotiations. He pointed out that the agreement was about to be finalized, but the nomination for prime minister was the reason for the termination of the talks. GERB and There is Such a People declined to comment on whether the talks were continuing. Speaking to BNR, We Continue the Change PP Assen Vassilev said that the state budget should not become a hostage of negotiations for the formation of a government.
