Rumen Radev stated that after he signs the decrees on the caretaker cabinet, on the election for EP and the election for national parliament, early on Tuesday morning he will call on the President of the National Assembly Rosen Zhelyazkov to have the government sworn in in parliament, as stipulated in the latest amendments to the Constitution.
