Rosen Zhelyazkov of the GERB party was officially elected prime minister on Thursday after three months of discussion.

Bulgaria's parliament on Thursday formally approved a coalition government led by the centre-right GERB party, finally installing an administration nearly three months after elections resulted in a deeply divided parliament.
