The president of the GERB General Assembly, Daniela Daritkova, announced that a broad public debate will take place. She added that negotiations with parliamentarians on the next step to convene a Grand National Assembly, with the support of 160 deputies, are close.
“Over the next two months, we will organize a series of public, expert discussions and seek agreements. I hope that what sounds like a dialogue may dissuade some of those who initially said they would not support the project,” he added. Daritkova said.
