Vasil Filipov, former executive director of Bulgargas

Mihail Mikov, interior minister

If we all have jobs after a year, this will be good.

Nikolay Vasilev, minister of state administration

Prime Minister Sergey Stanishev, after European People's Party President Wilfried Martens asked him to apologise for his statement that the European Commission applied double standards to Bulgaria
