Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev has issued a decree that will officially adjourn the country's Parliament as of March 15.

The Parliament's last sitting will take place on March 14, it has been made clear.

As it has been already announced, snap elections are to take place in the country on May 12.

With another decree issued on Wednesday, Plevneliev appointed a caretaker government that will be headed by diplomat Marin Raykov.

At an official ceremony caretaker prime minister Marin Raykov took over from former prime minister Boyko Borisov. Until the high-level and rather surprising appointment at the helm of Bulgaria's caretaker cabinet Raykov served as the country's Ambassador to France.
