After that, the former Prime Minister, and now a member of the PP-DB Kiril Petkov, also announced that his party would not support Milenkov for deputy governor of the BNB. He criticized Milenkov with the words: "Ladybug after ladybug, saboteur after saboteur, who has a direct connection with the Magnitsky-sanctioned Vladislav Goranov and Delyan Peevski".
