The budget procedure for next year is underway, confirmed Finance Minister Temenuzhka Petkova. She made this statement in the corridors of parliament, answering a question regarding the preparation of the draft budget for 2026. Preparation is already in full swing, considering the planned date for submitting the draft to the National Assembly.

In connection with this, Minister Petkova appealed for a little more patience from the public. Obviously, the creation of a budget is a complex process that requires time and precision. The document is expected to outline the main priorities of the government for the coming period, including the key areas of funding and planned expenditures.

Earlier in the day, Temenuzhka Petkova was seen in the parliament building meeting with the leader of GERB, Boyko Borisov. The purpose of the meeting, according to a statement by Borisov to journalists, was to discuss the possibility of drafting a decree related to the return of cars and drivers to the head of state. This shows activity in political circles and a potential redirection of efforts towards different priorities. /VD/
