Abstract
The following development aims to investigate to what extent the Bulgarian president is limited in the performance of his political reserve function after the changes made in Art. 99, para. 5 of the KRB. In analysis will pay special attention to several main moments: the appointment of the acting ex officio prime minister, the process of taking the oath, the unclear moments that are found in the amended provision of Art. 99, Para. 5 of the KRB and the change in the form of state governance and polity. In addition to this, a comparison will be made between the old and the new provision and in conclusion it should be emphasized that it is necessary to return the old text of the provision of art. 99, paragraph 5 or at least to supplement the list of potential candidates, as as it is partially empty.
