Bulgarian President Georgi Parvanov slammed Prime Minister Boyko Borisov, in response to the latter's criticism of the former's intention to found a new political movement.

In Brussels, Borisov said Parvanov's plans for a new political project of his own meant that he could not be termed "President" any more.

"He is not going to call me "president", but will address me with my family name. I already heard that 6 months ago. Let me remind that the Prime Minister, not unlike the President, is the PM of all Bulgarians. Unfortunately, the PM has caused substantial divisions from the onset of his term. He has practically been acting as the PM of one political party, and isolated many social and professional groups. This constantly leads to social protests. But time will show how people view each one of us," Parvanov declared in the Tundzha Municipality Friday night, as cited by BGNES.

"I have been in politics for 20 years. Everything I do is politics. The work of the head of state is high politics. I am very sorry I have to remind it but apparently my neighbors by building (i.e. the Council of Ministers) don't realize this," the President said.

He also urged higher requirements for the setting up of political parties because in his view the existing 380 political parties in Bulgaria "are too many."
