SOFIA (Reuters) - Bulgaria's parliament on Thursday backed a cabinet reshuffle aimed at quelling a public outcry over a fatal bus accident that killed 17 people, approving new ministers of interior, regional development and transport.

The centre-right government garnered support for the reshuffle after initial internal coalition tussles, although analysts say Prime Minister Boyko Borissov needed to do more to boost support for his government, which took office in May 2017.
