Prime Minister Kiril Petkov met with MPs from "There Is Such a People" (TISP) to persuade them to support the government despite Slavi Trifonov's party's decision to step down from the coalition. The revelations were made today in parliament.

TISP also sharply criticized the draft law on the anti-corruption commission.

"Our first partners are "Democratic Bulgaria" and "Stand up BG! We are Coming". There we have the clearest thesis for joint action and we even plan to sign a document that will become a coalition after the elections. To show the Bulgarian people, that we believe the next government will be a coalition government. "

The CEC's announcement confirms earlier data with 100% of the vote counted.

Sofia City Prosecutor's office has dropped the charges against four Corporate Commercial Bank (KTB) employees, a lawyer of one of them revealed.
