“I will hand in my resignation tomorrow or the day after,” Borisov told reporters. It came shortly after projections showed that ex-airforce chief and political novice Rumen Radev had swept close to 60 percent of ballots in the presidential vote. Democracy has beaten apathy and fear today,” Radev told public broadcaster BNT on Sunday evening. “General Radev’s victory represents the unfolding of a pro-Russian scenario in Bulgaria so that the country supports Russian interests in the EU and NATO,” political expert Antoniy Galabov told Agence France-Presse. He also praised new US president-elect Donald Trump for “seeking more dialogue with Russia” and President Vladimir Putin.
