Party leader and former Prime Minister Sergey Stanishev described Barroso's decision as "a slap in the face" and the first major defeat for successor Boyko Borisov's centre-right cabinet in its dealings with Brussels.
Vođa stranke i bivši premijer Sergey Stanishev opisao je Barrosovu odluku kao "pljusku u lice" i prvi veliki poraz kabineta desnog centra njegovog nasljednika Boyka Borisova u odnosima s Bruxellessom.
