Bulgaria's former Prime Minister Plamen Oresharski has described 2014 as "a year of disappointment, hopes and expectations which do not come true."

Days ahead of New Year Oresharski has posted on his Facebook profile a personal summary of what the year was like for Bulgaria.

In his words, it was "a year that we are all waiting to pass" and was "not very favorable" for Bulgaria's social and economic development.

He stressed that his government, which stepped down in July, had placed all its effort to "stop and reverse the negative trends" in a situation of "a profound institutional crisis", and economic depression and "disintegration in society."

Oresharski's cabinet governed Bulgaria for 14 months, between May 2013 and July 2014.

For months it came under fire from street protests that had started as a response to the controversial appointment of lawmaker Delyan Peevski as head of an intelligence agency but grew into a demonstration against the entire political establishment.

In the summer of 2014 a growing rift between the coalition partners in Oresharski's government, the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) and the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS), forced the PM to announce he would deposit his resignation.
