Bulgaria's Finance Minister Milen Velchev, who handed in his resignation August 6, met the country's Prime Minister Simeon Saxe-Coburg in the afternoon of August 18.

Both Prime Minister Saxe-Coburg and Minister Velchev declined to answer any questions.

Bulgaria's National Radio announced that the two officials have met and talked.

Velchev handed his resignation personally to the prime minister on August 6 and cited lack of support for his conducting conservative fiscal policy as main motive for his decision. The resigning minister also complained that the Bulgarian police failed to clear his name after it was stained in a ministers-link-to-mafia scandal.
