Stefan Chaykov, Chair of the Management Board of the Road Infrastructure Agency (RIA), has resigned.

His decision to leave the post was made public in a media statement of the Regional Development Ministry late on Thursday.

Chaykov is the first senior public official to leave office during the term in office of the caretaker government.

The Regional Development Ministry assured that Chaikov had not been dismissed, stressing that his employment contract had been terminated by mutual agreement.

Chaykov is to be succeeded by Lazar Lazarov, who was RIA head during the term in office of the center-right GERB government.
