The situation smells sharply of early elections, and Trifonov has criticized Prime Minister Kiril Petkov. One of them was that Teodora Genchovska was turned into a fictitious foreign minister, and the real role of diplomat number 1 was played by his man, his adviser on foreign policy, Vessela Cherneva, with whom they pursue their foreign policy.
