Bulgaria's government has approved changes to the rules of organization of the Environment Ministry.
Under the changes approved on Wednesday, the Minister of Environment and Water will have a third deputy, ten experts at the Environment Ministry will be moved to the Ministry of Investment Planning, while the number of officials in charge of public procurement, e-government strategy, and managing Environment Ministry properties will increase.
The total headcount of the Environment Ministry drops from 450 to 436, according to a media statement of the government, as cited by mediapool.bg.
Currently, Environment Minister Iskra Mihaylova has two deputies - Chavdar Georgiev from the Bulgarian Socialist Party, who held the same post during the three-way coalition government, and Din Onbashi from the ethnic Turkish Movement for Rights and Freedoms party (DPS).
