Bulgaria's largest party, the centre-right GERB, expects to form a government with United Patriots, a nationalist alliance of three parties by late April and return Boyko Borisov to power as Prime Minister.
GERB won 95 seats in the general election on March 26, whereas the United Patriots won 27. Together they will have 122 seats - just one seat up of the parliamentary majority of 121 seats.
GERB has told the third-placed United Patriots, that the prime minister's post will not be subject of their coalition negotiations.
