Bulgaria: Strategic developments in Sofia
Bulgarians Vote in Tight Presidential Runoff Dominating Black Sea Bulgarians headed to the polls on Sunday, Nov. 1, in a tight presidential runoff election between incumbent Acting President Iliana Iotova and pro-Western former caretaker prime minister Andrey Gyurov. In the Oct. 25 first round, Iotova garnered 34.76 percent of the vote against 31.95 percent for Gyurov amid a record-low turnout of 22.98 percent. The campaign has centered on Bulgaria’s geopolitical posture toward Russia and Ukraine, as well as escalating maritime security concerns following drone strikes on merchant shipping off Bulgaria’s Black Sea coast, including the Oct. 28 sinking of a hazardous-cargo container vessel near Shabla.
