Bulgarian Interior Minister and Deputy PM, Tsvetan Tsvetanov, has seemed to confirm that Rumiana Jeleva’s resignation as Foreign Affairs Minister has now been accepted.

Tsvetanov, speaking in an interview for BNT1 Wednesday, stated that the official decision to accept the resignation of Jeleva as Foreign Affairs Minister will be published on the governing center-right GERB party website later Wednesday.

Tsvetanov said that the decision was taken during a GERB meeting late Tuesday night because the government did not want to prolong the Jeleva scandal.

He added that it has not yet been decided who will be Bulgaria’s next Foreign Affairs Minister.

On Tuesday it was announced that Jeleva had handed in her resignation as Bulgaria’s EU Commissioner-Designate and Bulgarian Foreign Affairs Minister, but that Bulgarian PM Boyko Borisov had not accepted her resignation from her FM post.
