In a rather unique turn of events following Sunday's local election runoff in Bulgaria, six villages across the country failed to elect a mayor in the second round, leading to new partial local elections. Among these villages is Cherna Gora in the Pernik district, where a perfect tie in votes occurred, leaving the decision to the president to schedule new elections.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ekaterina Zaharieva will be on a visit to the Republic of Macedonia, Nova TV reported.
