Six ministers from the caretaker cabinet will answer questions from MPs in their first parliamentary scrutiny.

In his first parliamentary scrutiny, the Minister of Finance Georgi Klisurski will provide information on the size of the country's foreign debt, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs Nadezhda Neynski - on the fines imposed on Bulgarian citizens when leaving the Republic of Turkey.

The ministers of Defense Atanas Zapryanov, Health Mihail Okoliyski, Environment and Water Yulian Popov and Youth and Sports Dimitar Iliev will also participate in the scrutiny.

Although yesterday the Speaker of the National Assembly Raya Nazaryan announced that the caretaker Prime Minister Andrey Gyurov will answer questions from MPs, it is clear from the program published on the parliamentary website that he will not appear in the plenary hall

Before that, the legislative program of the National Assembly also includes two ratifications. Deputies must approve two agreements - between the EU and the Organization of African, Caribbean and Pacific States and with UNESCO on the designation of the Center for Underwater Archaeology as an "Underwater Heritage Institute" under the auspices of UNESCO.
