Bulgaria's Ex Deputy Regional Minister Picked for Deputy Caretaker PM

Ekaterina Zaharieva, who served as Bulgaria's deputy regional minister before joining the presidential team, has been picked for deputy caretaker prime minister.

She will also serve as regional development minister in Bulgaria's caretaker government.

Ekaterina Zaharieva entered the center-right government of Boyko Borisov right after he won the elections in the summer of 2009.

She became part of the presidential team in November 2011 after Rosen Plevneliev was elected Bulgaria's president.

Following the collective resignation of the center-right GERB government, the big question in Bulgaria was who will be appointed caretaker Prime Minister.

The question was answered on Tuesday by President Rosen Plevneliev.
