Bulgaria heads towards caretaker government and new elections

After three failed attempts the 45th National Assembly has not been able to form a regular government, and it is now up to President Rumen Radev to appoint a caretaker cabinet that will undertake to prepare the holding of early elections for parliament in the coming two months.

The constitution of the country does not obligate the head of state to issue a decree dissolving the National Assembly and setting the election date right away, though Rumen Radev announced he would do so after 10 May. /BGNES
