Former Bulgarian Foreign Minister Nadezhda Neynski described Prime Minister Rumen Radev's meetings with European leaders as an attempt to legitimize the new government and address concerns from European partners.

The government led by Rumen Radev has continued its personnel changes by appointing new leadership to the Road Infrastructure Agency, as announced by the agency itself.

President Radev announced that Bulgaria will enter an excessive deficit procedure initiated by Brussels. This signifies concerns about the country's fiscal health.
