The election of Mohamed Morsi as Egypt's first civilian President shows the the Egyptian people's desire for change and their support for democratic reforms, according to Bulgarian Foreign Minister Nikolay Mladenov.

"Today, when the President is the only legitimately election institution, Bulgaria expects his election to generate the necessary political will and the swift formation of a new government that is to the maximum extent representative of Egyptian society," Mladenov has said in a statement.

However, the Bulgarian Foreign Minister has declared that he is troubled by the decision to dissolve the Egyptian Parliament and the addendum to the Constitutional declaration adopted by the Supreme Military Council that has delayed the transfer of power to the civilian government.

"For the future of Egypt, it is crucial to have public support for the transition in the country," he believes.

Mladenov has added that is ready to support any effort to contribute to the democratic development in Egypt and the prosperity of its people.

Morsi was declared the new president of Egypt on Sunday, following the first democratic election in Egypt's history. He won 51.73% of the vote, beating former PM Ahmed Shafiq
