There will be “nothing dramatic” if Bulgaria’s center-right GERB party fails to form a government and instead ends up in opposition, a key GERB official has stated.

“Power has not been an end in itself for us,” GERB’s former Transport Minister Ivaylo Moskovski told the Bulgarian National Radio.

Moskovski stated that forming a Cabinet will be a “difficult exercise” for all other parties in Parliament.

“We will seek common ground with other parties,” he said.

Moskovski also criticized the mudslinging that marked the country’s election campaign.
The former Transport Minister spoke in the aftermath of the May 12 early general elections in Bulgaria.

GERB came in first in the vote, but currently appears unlikely to form a new government.
The Bulgarian Socialist Party, the ethnic Turkish Movement for Rights and Freedoms and the ultranationalist Ataka also obtained seats in Parliament, with all of them declaring that they would not support a GERB Cabinet.
