Bulgaria's Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov, firmly denies reports of being in discord and in conflict with fellow Deputy PM, Finance Minister, Simeon Djankov.
In a Wednesday morning interview for the Bulgarian National Television, BNT, Tsvetanov attempted to calm the situation after snubbing Djankov a day earlier, shortly after the latter suggested that the 2012 state budget should redirect funds from the security sector to education.
"Different opinions do not mean conflict," he said.
The Minister stated he refuses to debate the budget for security through the media, saying it will be discussed by the cabinet and commented on after it is passed.
"The Security issue should not turn into free chat, because you see what happened in the UK... Such rant demotivates police employees," Tsvetanov declared.
