Bulgaria's President Rosen Plevneliev is to hold consultations with the left-wing ABV and ultra-nationalist Ataka on Friday.
Under Bulgaria's Constitution, presidential consultations with all parliamentary parties are a prerequisite for handing to a Prime Minister candidate from the biggest party the mandate to form a government.
In this particular case talks have been extended since Plevneliev has taken into consideration the demand of all political parties, which he met at the Presidency on October 15, to have separate talks with each of them.
The head of state is receiving parties in reverse order starting with the one that has the smallest number of MPs in Parliament.
Alternative for Bulgarian Revival (ABV) and Ataka, which came eighth in the October 5 elections with a result slightly below ABV, have 11 MP seats each.
Ataka's leader Volen Siderov has declared it will not attend the consultations after calling them "a PR event of President Plevneliev".
Plevneliev will discuss the present political situation in Bulgaria with two parties every day.
