The final list of ministers will be revealed around 10 PM, when President Iliana Yotova will hand over the first mandate for forming a government, and Rumen Radev will return it immediately completed.
The prime minister without a doubt will be the leader of "Progressive Bulgaria." However, bTV learned that the 107th cabinet will likely have two deputy prime ministers. One of them is certainly the former caretaker prime minister, Minister of Social Affairs, and advisor to the president, Galab Donev, who is also expected to take over the Ministry of Finance.
Ivan Demerdzhiev is also predicted to become a deputy prime minister and Minister of the Interior.
Expectations are that Atanas Pekanov will once again take on the EU funds and Recovery and Sustainability Plan, but this time as part of a regular cabinet. As for the former Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Rady Naydenov, we will likely see him in the role of minister.
The names of two former presidential advisors seem certain for ministerial positions.
Dimitar Stoyanov takes over the defense, while Yavor Gechev will once again take over agriculture.
Former caretaker Minister of Transport Krasimira Stoyanova is likely to become a minister in the regular cabinet. Kiril Temelkov, former director of "Bulgartansgaz", is expected to take over the energy sector.
In the last few hours, it has become clear that there are two names being considered for the Ministry of Social Affairs. These are former Minister Lazar Lazarov and the current deputy minister, Natalia Efremova.
It is still unclear who will be the Minister of Justice - the name of Ivan Demerdzhiev has also been mentioned for this post.
