Mayor of Sofia Vasil Terziev:

New elections for Sofia City Council if no Chair is elected in 3 months

The mayor of Sofia, Vasil Terziev, will meet with all the parties in Sofia City Council to try to reach an agreement on who should head the council.

"We have three months to elect a chairman of the City Council, but if this does not happen, new municipal council elections will have to be held," he said after a meeting with Prime Minister Nikolai Denkov at the Council of Ministers. Vasil Terziev said that he hoped it would not come to that, because new elections would completely block the work of Sofia municipality.

 At the meeting, the mayor posed questions about education, culture, infrastructure and the financing of municipalities. The Prime Minister, for his part, said that the problems of municipalities were at the centre of the Cabinet's attention and that a meeting with the National Association of the Municipalities would be held soon.

Prime Minister Denkov advised the mayor not to miss any opportunity when it came to the work of Sofia City Council. "It happened in the National Assembly, so don't be in a hurry to reject options," the prime minister said.
