Bulgaria's presidential election has been extended to a second round Based on the initial results announced, the Bulgarian presidential election has been extended to a second round. Thus, after the first round of voting on Sunday, Andrey Gavrov, the former interim prime minister and candidate of the reformist and pro-Western opposition camp, and Iliana Yutova, the current president, will face each other again on Sunday, November 1. The highly polarized contest in this election is particularly focused on the future foreign policy direction of the European Union and NATO, which has recently been rocked by drone attacks on commercial ships off the coast of the Black Sea.
