"There is Such a People" should withdraw its candidate for Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Petar Iliev in order to get the support of the BSP for the new cabinet.

This condition has been set by party leader Korneliya Ninova after an extraordinary meeting of the Executive Bureau and the leadership of the party's parliamentary group.

Ninova said the request for a written document between the BSP and ITN for support of specific policies had been met. The document is expected to be signed by representatives of Slavi Trifonov's party. However, the BSP expects ITN to also reconsider its decision on Iliev's candidacy. According to Ninova, his interview in media this morning was "quite embarrassing."

A formal decision of the BSP regarding support for ITN is to be adopted tomorrow.
