"In the 45th National Assembly GERB is the first political force. To keep peace in the country, I'm not going to be prime minister. Daniel Mitov was foreign minister - the most important post after the prime minister.

They can make fun of us as much as they want and keep us for four years as a minority government," he said adding that the pride of his opponents will not allow this to happen.From the words of the Prime Minister, it became clear that he will rather not appear at the hearing before the Parliament on Wednesday and so once again will disparage the National Assembly as an institution.
