Svetlana Boyanova, Bulgarian Deputy Agriculture Minister, will be reportedly dismissed from her position as the cabinet reshuffle in the country continues.

The news was reported by the Bulgarian National Radio, which cited anonymous sources.

On Wednesday, within a matter of a couple of hours, the government saw the resignation of Transport Minister Alexander Tsvetkov, the resignation of Deputy Economy Minister in charge of energy Mariy Kosev, as well as the finalization of the dismissal of National Social Security Institute head Hristina Mitreva.

According to Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov, the reshuffle of his Cabinet is based on "principled rules", the more specific rationale being technical failures such as failing to boost and accelerate the absorption of EU funds.
