Bulgaria's President Gives Up Summer Break

Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev will not have a summer holiday this year as his work schedule for August is full.

Plevneliev will not go on foreign trips and will not have any opportunity for meetings with local politicians who are on holiday, according to the President's press office.

Plevneliev's agenda includes meetings with foreign defense ministers.

He is also the patron of national celebrations on the Shipka Peak scheduled to take place in the last 10 days of August, according to reports of Trud daily.

Bulgaria's President is also expected to say in August whether he will veto the budget revision adopted by Parliament on August 2.

In a Sunday statement, Economy and Energy Minister Dragomir Stoynev cautioned that the government was not to be held responsible for the failure to implement its program of measures for supporting the socially underprivileged and for settling overdue payments to the business sector in the case of a presidential veto to the budget update.

Plevneliev is also not expected to summon any sittings of Bulgaria's Consultative Council on National Security by September.
