The two largest parties in Bulgaria, the conservative GERB and the reformist coalition 'Proceeding with the change - Democratic Bulgaria' (PP-BD), have agreed to govern together with a prime minister who will change every nine months, on a rotational formula, which should end two years of political deadlock in the European Union's (EU) poorest country.
