''We should make every effort to form a regular cabinet - not only because of the state of the treasury", the politician said. He added that the leader of GERB, Boyko Borissov, is the best option for prime minister, but if another option arises, the cabinet should be led by GERB.

''There is no way a political force can put its leader as prime minister. This will only deepen distrust and exacerbate tensions'', We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria MP Bozhidar Bozhanov said for the Bulgarian National Radio. According to him, the profile of the prime minister should be someone who cannot be told what to do.
