Rosen Plevneliev, Bulgaria's newly elected President, will be officially sworn in on Thursday.
The ceremony will take place in the country's Parliament in downtown Sofia. Parliamentary speaker Tsetska Tsacheva will read the decision of the Central Electoral Commission, CEC, which declared Rosen Plevneliev and Margarita Popova the elected President and Vice President of Bulgaria. Then they will be sworn in before the Parliament.
Rosen Plevneliev will deliver his first address as Head of State, in which he is expected to announce its priorities. Tsacheva will also address the Parliament.
