Katev, who also left a successful career in the West to take his post in the ministry, said Thursday he would leave immediately if the prime minister accepted Velchev's resignation.
Katev, koji je takođe napustio uspešnu karijeru na Zapadu da bi preuzeo funkciju u ministarstvu, izjavio je u četvrtak da će, ako premijer prihvati ostavku Velčeva, odmah napustiti vladu.
