Today's plenary session has been canceled due to a lack of quorum as Bulgaria's opposition party GERB refused to register in Parliament once again.
A total of 106 MPs from Bulgaria's Socialist Party and from the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) attended Friday's session. After not reaching a quorum, the Parliament speaker Mihail Mikov announced that the next session will be held on July 10, BGNES reports.
