Bulgaria'a parliament votes in Kiril Petkov as prime minister and approves the lineup of his broad coalition government, ending months of political deadlock
Bulgarian lawmakers have voted in Kiril Petkov, a Harvard-educated entrepreneur, as prime minister.
They secured a clear majority of 134 votes in the 240-member parliament to take over the reins of the Balkan country. Petkov, who served as minister of economics in the previous caretaker Cabinet, also pledged to keep Bulgaria on pro-European and pro-NATO track. Petkov will lead an unprecedented ruling coalition with the leftist Socialists, anti-establishment ITN party and the centre-right Democratic Bulgaria, united under the motto "zero tolerance to corruption", for a four-year term.
