The elections were calm and there were no significant violations. That is why you don't hear parties talking about such violations, caretaker Prime Minister Galab Donev has told bTV. "The parties might be surprised by the results but the voters have clearly shown that they want politicians to seek unity," Donev added.

The state is not bankrupt and tax collection for the first 3 months of 2023 has increased by over 20%, the prime minister said, adding that VAT revenues were smaller due to increased exports. We will do everything possible to ensure that the budget has a deficit of not more than 3%, Donev told reporters.
