Kostadin Kostadinov

"If I were a Bulgarian citizen, I would vote for the one person I understand - for 'I do not support anyone' or for Kostadin Kostadinov."

This is stated by the Russian ambassador to Bulgaria, Eleonora Mitrofanova, in an interview with Martin Karboski, which was published on his YouTube video blog.

President Rumen Radev congratulates the representatives of the Muslim faith in Bulgaria on the occasion of the Eid al-Fitr holiday. This was announced by the presidential press office.

With 220 votes in favor, the parliament created a temporary committee that should draft the new parliament's rules of procedure. It will have 12 representatives from each parliamentary group, and GERB deputy Radomir Cholakov was elected chairman.

"I am only addressing my compatriots, because as always, all of us in this hall, regardless of the power, positions and posts temporarily given to us, must be, above all, only one thing - Bulgarians". This was stated by the leader of the "Vazrazhdane" (Revival) party Kostadin Kostadinov from the rostrum of the new parliament.

The initiative committee, supported by the "Vazrazhdane" party, submitted 590,000 signatures to the Bulgaria parliament for a referendum on preserving the Bulgarian lev (BGN).

The 179,570 people who voted outside of Bulgaria determined that the first place abroad was for the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) which received 36.86% (62,906 people) of the vote.

This is shown by the data of the Central Election Commission with 100% processed protocols abroad.

"Vazrazhdane" expect to be the third political force in the new parliament. This is what Tsoncho Ganev, deputy chairman of the party said. The party will not participate in a governing coalition, as "the two leading parties want to take the country to war," according to him.

The National Association of Grain Producers is starting today three days of effective protest actions at the border points at Vidin, Ruse, Silistra and Kardam.

The requests of the grain producers are not to extend for Bulgaria the effect of the European regulation on duty-free import of goods of agricultural origin from Ukraine.
