Bulgaria's Prime Minister Boyko Borisov has dismissed yet another Deputy Economy Minister, Dimitar Chohadzhiev, the government press service announced.

As a deputy minister in the Bulgarian Ministry of Economy, Energy, and Tourism, Chohadzhiev was in charge of the economy.

It is still unclear who will be Chohadzhiev's successor. His dismissal comes after on Wednesday the Bulgarian Parliament approved Delyan Dobrev as the new Economy Minister, replacing Traicho Traikov, who had been part of the Borisov Cabinet since its formation in July 2009.

Traikov was dismissed after a scandal following the trip of a high-level Bulgarian government delegation to Qatar. Chohadzhiev's dismissal was expected as he was said to be one of Traikov's closest aides at the Economy Ministry.
