An engineering contract for the construction of new nuclear facilities at Site No. 2 of the Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant is set to be signed today with Hyundai and Westinghouse. Caretaker Energy Minister Vladimir Malinov stated that this contract will provide a precise schedule and fixed pricing for the project within 12 months of its signing.

Bulgaria's caretaker government will not approach the Constitutional Court to annul the October 27 election results, confirmed Acting Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev.

Bulgaria faces significant challenges on its path to euro adoption, with political instability emerging as a critical hurdle rather than inflation. While inflation rates have shown signs of cooling—decreasing by 1% from August to September and 1.2% year-on-year—Bulgaria still has not met all the Maastricht criteria necessary for eurozone entry.

Acting Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev expressed confidence that the Bulgarian caretaker government has fulfilled its obligations to ensure fair elections. He emphasized that all duties were performed "with hand on heart," adding that a report from the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) also supports this view, and it is available to the public.

At the Novo Selo training ground today, Defense Minister Atanas Zapryanov affirmed that the recent command and staff exercise showcased the NATO Multinational Battlegroup's preparedness to scale up to brigade level if required for Bulgaria's defense.

Bulgaria's acting Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev expressed optimism that political forces will exert all efforts to establish a regular and stable government following the parliamentary elections. In his first remarks after the elections, he noted that the caretaker government successfully managed the process of ensuring fair and transparent voting.

After casting his vote, Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev stated, "I voted for a European Bulgaria." He emphasized the importance of having a regular and stable government that adheres to the Constitution and laws of the country, prioritizing the interests of the people.

On October 27, Bulgarians will vote in parliamentary elections with 19 parties, nine coalitions, and one independent candidate from Pleven on the ballot.

A total of 6,601,262 citizens are eligible to vote in the seventh parliamentary election in just three years, according to official registers by the Civil Registration and Administrative Services (GRAO).

On October 27, 2024, Bulgarians will head to the polls for early parliamentary elections. These are the seventh such elections in the last three years and the second to take place in 2024, following the June 9 vote, which coincided with the European Parliament elections.

Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev stated at the beginning of today's government meeting, the last before the early parliamentary elections on Sunday, October 27, that it is high time for the ongoing series "Election Game," which has been running for several years, to come to an end. "We all want a regular, stable government that can address the concerns of Bulgarian citizens," he emphasized.
