The Council of Ministers (Bulgarian: Министерски съвет, Ministerski savet) is the main authority of the executive power in the Republic of Bulgaria.
[1] Bulgaria employs a dualistic approach for relations between the Parliament and the Government: after the composition of the Council of Ministers is decided by the newly elected government, the members of parliament who are chosen to become ministers temporarily lose their parliamentary rights while being ministers.
These rights are restored in case they are released from the Council of Ministers or the government falls from power.
The Council of Ministers office is in central Sofia and is part of the Largo architectural ensemble.
[2] The cabinet is a minority coalition government with ministers nominated from GERB, BSP-UL and ITN.
