Bulgaria Conservative RZS at Odds with GERB over Cabinet Make-up

The leader of the conservative RZS party, Yane Yanev, claimed Sunday Bulgaria's future PM, Boyko Borisov, had extended an invitation to a RZS party member to join the new cabinet.

On Sunday, Yanev made the revelation that the leader of the elections' winner, Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria (GERB) party, Boyko Borisov, had made personal phone calls and sent text messages to the unnamed person to ask him to become a minister in his cabinet.

The Order, Law and Justice (RZS) party leader, who spoke during the party's Managing Council meeting, defined Borisov's alleged move as a "tsarist method" and vowed that no one from RZS would take part in the executive power at any level and at any price.

Yanev said RZS would continue negotiations with GERB only at the leaders' level i.e. with Boyko Borisov. He declared his party was not going to participate in the Monday talks with GERB and would not sign the memorandum of support, but promised again to backup GERB in the parliamentary vote for a trail period of 180 days.

The RSZ leader also said the just elected 41st National Assembly should be dismissed and a Great National Assembly should be convened.

Borisov spoke to Darik radio Sunday afternoon and adamantly denied Yanev's claims regarding the cabinet invitation.

"I hear this for the first time from you. I am ready to submit my cell phones so that they can be checked up for calls and text messages," the GERB leader told the Darik reporter.
