A politician closely linked until recently to the party of former king Simeon Saxe-Coburg and an expert with experience in Sarkozy administration have been tipped to serve as councilors of Bulgaria's new Prime Minister Boyko Borisov.
Svetoslav Spasov, former leader of the youth organization of the so-called royal party the National Movement for Stability and Prosperity and member of parliament on its ticket, who later joined a group of mavericks and finally turned independent, will advise Borissov in matters dealing with the state administration, local Standard newspaper reported.
According to the same report Radoslav Tochev, part of the team of experts of GERB party, will serve as Borisov's councilor in foreign policy affairs. Tochev gained popularity as the first Bulgarian to graduate the prestigious Paris National School of Administration. He has experience as councilor to the current French President Nicolas Sarkozy during his term as Economy, Finance and Industry Minister.
Rossen Zhelyazkov, currently chief secretary of Sofia municipality, is expected to take over the same position in the government, which is the most important administrative post in it.
The governmental press office neither confirmed nor refused the reports.
