Question Time with members of the government and a regular parliamentary oversight session are included in the agenda published on the website of the National Assembly for Friday.

Under Parliament's Rules of Procedure, during the first Friday sitting of each month the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Ministers appear before the National Assembly for up to two hours to answer topical oral questions from MPs concerning the government's overall policy. The questions are submitted during the sitting itself.

The regular parliamentary oversight session is expected to include Regional Development and Public Works Minister Ivan Shishkov, Tourism Minister Evtim Miloshev, Interior Minister Ivan Demerdzhiev, Defence Minister Dimitar Stoyanov and Labour and Social Policy Minister Katya Ivkova.

Prime Minister Rumen Radev will not take part in the parliamentary oversight session because he is on an official visit abroad, Deputy Speaker Stoyu Stoev, who chaired Thursday's sitting, announced.
