The new Bulgarian ministers are to propose the names of their deputies, with newly-appointed Prime Minister Boyko Borisov having the final say.

Borisov's idea is that choosing deputies will help heads of ministries to be fully responsible for their decisions, media outlets report.

Center-right GERB, led by Borisov, and right-wing Reformist Bloc (RB) agreed on the procedure during the weeks-long government consultations and it was written into the coalition deal signed Thursday.
