Despite the accepted resignation of Bulgaria's government, protest rallies were organized again – though on a much smaller scale - in major Bulgarian cities Thursday night.

The demonstrators demand for immediate summon of a Great General Assembly, new Constitution, a majority vote, and 50% civil participation in the regulators.

They even invited Prime Minister, Boyko Borisov, to join them at a rally that should be taking place Sunday.

In Sofia, the demonstrators gathered once again Thursday evening at the emblematic Eagles' Bridge intersection in the hearth of the city. The intersection became the scene of bloody clashes between them and riot police Tuesday evening.

Later in the evening they headed for the presidency.
