As GERB, one of the two leading parties in Bulgaria, undertakes a comprehensive review of the recent election results, it is also gearing up to formulate its stance on its continued participation in the "assembly."

This was said by the co-chairman of "We Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria" (WCC-DB) Kiril Petkov.

"We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria" (WCC-DB) disputed the agreement on prime ministerial rotation with GERB, questioning the activity of the deputy prime minister and minister of foreign affairs Mariya Gabriel in relation to Bulgaria's entry into Schengen.

The "Lukoil - Neftohim" refinery in Burgas has promised Bulgarian Prime Minister Nikolai Denkov to pay over 500 million leva (250 million euros) in taxes, and in return the state will keep the derogation (exception) from the European ban on the import of Russian crude oil.
