Bulgaria's presidential election: Black Sea security becomes the central campaign issue
Bulgaria is preparing for the presidential election on 25 October with a possible runoff on 1 November. The main contenders are incumbent president Iliana Yotova, backed by Prime Minister Rumen Radev, and former prime minister Andrey Gyurov, supported by the opposition. Drone attacks on vessels in the Black Sea have sharpened the debate over support for Ukraine and the government's foreign policy stance.
