Medarova appointment and pull out

On 8 August 2014 the president Rosen Plevneliev appointed the judge Krasimira Medarova, a former chief of the Central Election Committee, as the minister responsible for conducting the upcoming parliamentary elections. Two days later, on 10 August 2014, Medarova stepped down due to criticism for her former job as a chief of the Central Election Committee.[3] Bliznashki gave up trying to appoint a separate elections minister, and instead announced that he will personally oversee the organisation of the elections.[4]

Miscellaneous

According to some media sources, this is the first post-1989 cabinet without any known former agents affiliated with the Committee for State Security.[5][6]
