Kiril Petkov, co-chairman of the political party "We Continue the Change" (WCC), has been summoned as a defendant in the case surrounding the arrest of Boyko Borissov, Vladislav Goranov, and Sevdelina Arnaudova. The summons, which was issued today at 5 p.m., marks Petkov's formal involvement in the case, which he has described as a "political attack" aimed at his party.

Boyko Borissov, leader of GERB, has stated that he does not support the signing of a security cooperation agreement between Bulgaria and Ukraine. His stance marks a notable shift for the party, which has previously backed initiatives in support of Ukraine. This decision comes as caretaker Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev announced he would not sign the agreement without parliamentary backing.

Delyan Peevski, the chairman of "DPS - New Beginning," stated that his party would take on the role of the opposition if a government is successfully formed. He expressed his support for early elections, emphasizing the need for a decisive winner.

GERB leader Boyko Borissov expressed optimism about forming a government, emphasizing the necessity of achieving this goal. Speaking on the sidelines of the National Assembly, Borissov stated that the current international context demands unity and decisive action from Bulgaria.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is set to make an unexpected visit to Bulgaria, arriving in Sofia on Friday, according to BGNES. The trip comes amid speculation about its agenda and the notable absence of caretaker Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev, who is currently in Brussels and will not meet with Orban during the visit.

GERB has invited three political formations—Democratic Bulgaria (DB), the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP), and There Is Such a People (TISP)—to engage in "expert conversations" aimed at forming a government. The invitations were sent with a proposal for the meetings to take place at a mutually convenient time next week.

GERB leader Boyko Borissov has announced the party's plan to hold official negotiations with "Democratic Bulgaria" (DB), the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP), and "There Is Such a People" (TISP) regarding the formation of a government.

Following consultations with President Rumen Radev, the MECH (Morality, Unity, Justice) party addressed journalists, with Radostin Vassilev declaring that the party will not engage in talks with GERB. He asserted that the "MECH plan" cannot succeed due to the lack of sufficient parliamentary support to counteract Boyko Borissov and Delyan Peevski.
