Bulgaria's parliamentary committee for control of security agencies is holding Tuesday a hearing of the two candidates for the post of director of the State Agency for National Security, DANS.

The nominees are Nedyalko Nedyalkov and Vladimir Pisanchev.

The hearing is scheduled for 3:30 pm.

The president, the chairman of the Supreme Court of Cassations, the chief prosecutor, and one deputy interior minister are invited to attend the hearing.

The speaker of the Parliament, the leaders of parliamentary represented parties, and the chairs of the security and defense committees will be present as well.

Pisanchev is currently interim DANS head, after the failed appointment of controversial media mogul Delyan Peevski at the post.

The above appointment triggered mass and persisting anti-government protests in the country, which are now in their second month.

Although the appointment was revoked, Bulgarians went on to demand that the Socialist-endorsed cabinet of Prime Minister Plamen Oresharski resign collectively.
