Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov has accepted the resignation of Interior Minister Veselin Vuchkov, a Deputy PM says.

Vuchkov stepped down at a cabinet meeting earlier on Wednesday, shortly before he was to table his proposals for a new Secretary of the Interior Ministry.

Borisov, who was meeting FBI Director James Comey at the time, told reporters that "when a resignation has been submitted", he accepts it.

The PM was "irritated" by the fact that the resignation had been submitted during Comey's visit, according to daily Dnevnik.

Vuchkov's move constitutes the first resignation of a minister in the current elected government, which took office in November, 2014.

He is yet to comment on his decision.
