Bulgarian President Rumen Radev appointed on Monday caretaker Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev also as the foreign minister, state news agency BTA reported.

In the mini cabinet reshuffle, Georgi Tahov was made the agriculture and food minister.

Stefan Dimitrov was relieved of office as foreign minister and Kiril Vatev as agriculture minister.

Glavchev had sent Radev a written proposal for changes in the caretaker cabinet earlier in the day. Last week, the two discussed possible changes in the cabinet, which took office on April 9.
