The Bulgarian parliament is to hold an extraordinary sitting tomorrow, the National Assembly has announced on its website.

The agenda includes discussions of a bill that would obligate the minister of health to take steps for concluding a collective labour agreement in healthcare and for applying the penalties envisaged in the event of non-payment of salaries to medical experts.

A parliamentary hearing of caretaker PM and Foreign Minister Dimitar Glavchev is also on the agenda – over the leaked information that he instructed Bulgaria’s Permanent Representagtive to the UN Lachezara Stoeva to abstain during the voting of the UN resolution designating 11 July as the International Day of Reflection and Commemoration of the 1995 Genocide perpetrated by the Bosnian Serb army in Srebrenica, thus signalling a change in Bulgaria's foreign policy.

Dimitar Glavchev stated he was not going to take part in “pre-election shows” organized in the last week before the elections.
