After months of relentless negotiations, Bulgaria's parliament has approved a new cabinet led by Rosen Zhelyazkov, drawing a conclusion to a protracted political stalemate.

The centre-right GERB party, despite winning a recent snap election, had to engage in challenging talks with other political factions to form a coalition government.

As Bulgaria grapples with both economic and political hurdles, Zhelyazkov's government is expected to steer the nation towards steadier EU fund uptake and efforts to join the eurozone.
