Bulgarian citizens are voting in a tight presidential runoff between Iliana Iotova, advocating dialogue with Russia, and Andrei Giurov, supported by pro-Western opposition. Iotova, who led the first round, faces criticism for her response to Russian threats amid rising tensions in the Black Sea. Giurov emphasizes the need to confront Russia directly. The election reflects Bulgaria's divided stance on its relationship with Russia, with calls for peace negotiations in Ukraine.
