Candidates from Bulgaria's ruling center-right GERB party at the fall municipal elections should be ready for dirty playing by their rivals, according to GERB vice-chair and Minister of Interior Tsvetan Tsvetanov.

Speaking in Smolyan Tsvetanov, who is also presiding GERB's staff for the upcoming presidential and municipal elections in the fall, said he was certain the fight will not be easy and rivals will resort to foul tricks.

"Nevertheless, you must be 100% sure that GERB will not answer in kind and will work completely positively, relying on face-to-face meetings with local people," said Tsvetanov.

The GERB official and Bulgarian Interior Minister added that Bulgarians are completely tired by a war of accusations and slandering amongst political figures, which has gone on for the last 20 years, and pointed out to officers from former communist State Security as the source behind that practice.

Tsvetanov also announced that GERB is presently considering when is the best strategic time to unveil its candidates for the race in the fall.
