Bulgaria's government has declined the invitation by the country's President Georgi Parvanov for a discussion within the Consultative National Security Council on its economic and social stability.

On Monday, Parvanov declared that the economic and social security of the country is the most serious issue faced by Bulgaria at present time, and therefore said he was ready to convene the Consultative National Security Council.

Parvanov voiced strong criticism towards the cabinet for the decision to join the Euro Plus Pact, pointing out it was made in a moral conflict with the Constitution because Bulgaria will only end up paying without getting any help, similarly to the other less economically and socially developed EU Member States. He also reiterated his idea for a referendum on the future of the Belene NPP.

However, on Friday, the government decided to snub the invitation, commenting that the economic and social security are within the executive power's competencies.
