Last week, Glavchev had called for the replacement of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Agriculture, citing concerns over their performance. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs' press service announced Glavchev's proposal for the dismissal of Stefan Dimitrov from his role as Minister of Foreign Affairs and suggested that Glavchev himself assume the position.
