On Thursday, Borisov demanded the resignation of Tanev and his entire team.

The nomination was a unanimous decision of the executive council, the Bloc’s co-chair Nayden Zelenogorski told reporters after an extraordinary meeting of the parties in the Bloc.

Meglena Kuneva has agreed to accept the nomination, he added.

Tanev has not yet submitted his resignation.

Parliament is expected to vote on the nomination of Meglena Kuneva on Wednesday.
