"this almost brought down the then two-week old government of prime minister plamen oresharski, who leads a minority coalition between the socialists and the dps. the situation also embarrassed sergei stanishev, the leader of the bulgaria socialist party (bsp), who is also leader of the party of european socialists (pes)." peevski said that he didn't understand why he was being blamed for trying to take the helm of the agency. he complained that bulgaria's law enforcement institutions were "submerged by false signals" against him.
