Bulgaria's ministries of energy and transport will most likely be merged in a bid to cut expenses in the next minority government of the centre-right election-winner GERB.
This emerged after GERB experts announced plans to transform the current four parliamentary commissions into one for energy, transport and communications and another dealing with economy and high technologies issues.
This will be the first time that the key sectors of economy and transport are brought together under the roof of one and the same ministry.
Experts say they are not optimistic about the outcome of this experiment, even though it is not a precedent among European Union member states.
The next government is expected to bring in Western-educated economists and reformists to fulfill a pledge to revive the economy and clamp down on chronic corruption.
Simeon Djankov, Minister of Finance, Tsvetan Tsvetanov, Interior Minister, Yordanka Fandakova, Minister of Education and Vezhdi Rashidov, Minister of Culture, have been assured of ministerial positions so far.
