Bulgarian Elections: A Vote between the West and the East?
Lesson Brief
Российская газета
Bulgarians went to the polls on Sunday to elect a new president and vice-president. The presidential post in Bulgaria is largely ceremonial; however, the two candidates cannot be more opposite. The vote will be a referendum on the feelings of the country: a populous more committed to Euro-integration, or one that prefers a more independent foreign policy (and with closer relations to Moscow).
