The announcement came a day after the parliamentary leader of GERB party, Tsvetan Tsvetanov from GERB proposed Tomislav Donchev, Deputy Prime Minister in charge of EU funds, as a possible candidate for the vacant ministerial post, but Donchev refused.

Borissov said that he proposed Rusinova because he wanted to have continuity in the ministry and appoint a person with whom Ivailo Kalfin (who resigned) had worked well. Borissov denied that Rusinova was named for the job because Donchev had refused it.
