Caretaker Finance Minister Lyudmila Petkova removed the incumbent head of the Customs Agency, Petya Bankova, who was detained in relation to alleged participation in an organised criminal group, and replaced her with Georgi Dimov.
[13][14] Such changes led to allegations by political parties in the National Assembly that Glavchev and other figures in the cabinet were being influenced by Delyan Peevski in making decisions.
The cabinet reshuffle led to BSP and Revival submitting a vote of no confidence against the Glavchev government, which a number of legal experts and politicians considered unconstitutional.
[21] On the 22nd of April, Radev officially signed the changes in the Caretaker Cabinet, replacing Stefan Dimitrov with Dimitar Glavchev and Kiril Vutev with Georgi Tahov.
In the opening session of the cabinet, PM Dimitar Glavchev underlined that the organisation of "free and fair elections" was the main task of his government.
[27] Minister of the Interior, Kalin Stoyanov, confirmed on the same day that the Ministry had received the first reports about alleged vote buying, as well as other violations of the electoral code.
[35] The government also experienced divisions with the President over who was to represent the country during the NATO summit in Washington, with the cabinet wishing for Glavchev to lead the delegation due to Radev's recent statements criticising the foreign policy direction of the alliance.
[37] However, the parliament on the 21st of June proved unable to find a consensus on the matter, leading to the cabinet's eventual decision that both Glavchev and Radev would be present at the summit.
[38] On the 27th of June, Radev announced that he would not represent the Bulgarian delegation citing deep disagreements with the position of the cabinet, specifically as pertains to the matter of Ukraine.
[42] In early July, extreme heat in Bulgaria contributed to the outbreak of forest fires, particularly in the southern regions of the country near the border with Greece and Republic of North Macedonia.
On 9 August, President Radev officially announced that the deputy chairwoman of the Chamber of Audit, Goritsa Grancharova-Kozhareva, was selected to serve as the next Caretaker Prime Minister in place of Glavchev.
