Bulgarians voted in their fourth national election in less than two years on Sunday, with little hope for a stable government emerging because of deep divisions within the political elite over how to tackle entrenched corruption.
Prolonged political turmoil threatens to undermine Bulgaria's ambitions to join the euro zone in 2024 amid double-digit inflation and steep energy prices, and could lead to a softening of Sofia's stance on the Russian war in Ukraine.
"I call on my colleagues to show reason after tonight," Borissov told reporters after casting his ballot. "There is a war in the world... It is important for the country to stay on its Euro-Atlantic course". Failure to forge a functioning cabinet would leave the rule of the EU and NATO-member state to a caretaker administration appointed by Russia-friendly President Rumen Radev.Analysts say political parties, aware of economic risks from the war in Ukraine, a difficult winter ahead and voters' frustration with political instability, could shelve their differences and opt for a technocrat government.
