"Each of the coalition partners in the new government will have a deputy prime minister, and there will be two from the new political party "We continue the change" (PP). One will actually deal with effective governance". In an interview with Spiegel, the co-chairman of the PP, Kiril Petkov, said that this will be the other co-chairman of the party - Asen Vassilev. Thus, the new cabinet will have two more deputy prime ministers than the current cabinet. 

For better control, the formations "We continue the change", the Bulgarian Socialist Party, "There is such a people" and "Democratic Bulgaria" will nominate one adviser to the respective minister, in order to avoid the danger of one-party control of the departments. This is what Asen Vassilev said.

The coalition agreement for forming a regular cabinet is expected to be ready by the end of the week. However, it is not yet clear whether it will be signed jointly by the leaders or whether "We continue the change" will sign the agreement with each of the political formations separately.
