Bulgaria's President Georgi Parvanov and Prime Minister Boyko Borisov have demonstrated warm attitudes towards one another even though they are supposed to be political arch-enemies.

Bulgarian President Georgi Parvanov, who is in the last year of his second term, led the Army Valor Day, May 6, for the last time in his capacity as commander-in-chief.

Parvanov and Borisov were caught on camera cracking jokes and laughing as they were watching the troops parade by. Parvanov, a former leader of Bulgarian Socialist Party, and Borisov, head of the center-right ruling party GERB, have ostensibly been in conflict over a number of issues during their co-habitation even though some media reports have suggested that the two leaders might have made a grand bargain for Bulgarian politics.  

Friday's parade was attended by the entire Bulgarian state leadership including Prime Minister Boyko Borisov, Parliament Chair Tsetska Tsacheva, and Defense Minister Anyu Angelov. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon was the special guest of the Bulgarian Army parade.
