Boïko Borissov, the winner of the fifth Bulgarian election in two years, turned to an unusual candidate for prime minister in an attempt to finally form a functioning government.
Petkov believes that no alliance is possible with Borissov and his party, GERB, without disavowing his initial political commitment. For Borissov, this is nothing less than “stubbornness.”
