On Sunday, Saxe-Coburg told reporters Borissov's resignation was "prompted namely by statements, which he made maybe somewhat hastily, and he himself decided that this is an adequate reason to resign from such a responsible position, which does him honour".
Saks-Koburg je u nedelju izjavio novinarima da je ostavka Borisova «naime podstaknuta izjavama koje je dao možda pomalo ishitreno, i sam je odlučio da je to razlog da podnese ostavku na tako odgovoran položaj, što mu služi na čast».
