Sofia: Bulgaria’s president has tapped the country’s deputy central bank governor to serve as interim prime minister, tasked with leading a caretaker government that will soon oversee a new parliamentary vote.
President Iliana Iotova nominated Andrey Gurov to act as PM on Wednesday, reported the state-run Bulgarian News Agency (BNA). Iotova plans to meet Gurov tomorrow and formally task him with putting together a caretaker government, said the agency.
Bulgaria has been without a regular government since December 11, when the previous cabinet resigned amid huge street protests against its economic policies and perceived failure to curb corruption. (Agencies)
