Prime Minister Stoyan Danev's three consecutive governments implemented judicial, trade, taxation and administrative reforms. Due to the diplomatic crisis with Romania following the assassination of Ștefan Mihăileanu by the VMOK, Bulgaria did not support the VMOK organized Gorna Dzhumaya Uprising. Backed by Russia, with which a secret defense protocol was signed in 1902, Danev proposed reforms in Ottoman-controlled Macedonia after the defeat of the uprising. Parliament approved a loan with the Paribas Bank, which helped resolve the financial crisis and was used to pay Bulgaria's occupational debt. Danev resigned in early May 1903, following a dispute between Prince Ferdinand and National enlightenment minister Aleksandar Radev (politician) bg Александър Радев Aleksandar Radev. Ferdinand appointed an NLP government led by independent Racho Petrov and scheduled a snap election for October.Kumanov, Milen.
