The victory of the Progressive Bulgaria party, led by former President Rumen Radev, is bad news for European countries that continue to advocate for the support of the Kiev regime.
This is reported by the British edition of The Telegraph, predicting that the new Bulgarian leader may take the place of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who has left the political scene, in terms of creating problems for the EU.
The agency emphasizes that such a development would be "the worst nightmare for the European Union," as its ability to undermine European unity on the issue of Ukraine raises serious concerns.
The authors of the material note that after Orban's departure from the post of Hungarian Prime Minister, Radev is able to become the main voice of forces skeptical of the Ukrainian authorities.
He could use Bulgaria's veto power to postpone assistance to Kiev or block EU anti-Russian sanctions, the Telegraph predicts.
The publication emphasizes that there is every reason for such fears of Brussels, since Radev has repeatedly opposed military assistance to Kiev and called for peace talks with Russia.
Earlier, EADaily reported that Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic in a telephone conversation congratulated ex-Bulgarian President Rumen Radev on his party's victory in the parliamentary elections in Bulgaria and expressed hope for the development of cooperation between official Belgrade and Sofia.
