Glavchev caretaker government took an oath in office
The Glavchev cabinet took the oath of office at an extraordinary sitting of the National Assembly on April 9. This will be the 10th caretaker government in the country, but after the changes in the Constitution - the first time that a caretaker government was sworn in at the Parliament, rather than at the Presidency.
Early this morning, Head of State Rumen Radev signed three decrees - appointing the caretaker government and scheduling the extraordinary parliamentary elections in Bulgaria and the European Parliament elections. The two elections will be on the same date - 9 June.
