The leader of Bulgarian Socialist Party, Korneliya Ninova, acknowledged she disagreed with President-elect Rumen Radev on how a key reform to the judicial system should proceed.
Russian military official Leonid Reshetnikov told satellite broadcaster TV+ in November he had met Ninova in August and had discussed the prospective nomination of Radev as the socialist-backed presidential candidate.
Reshetnikov, who was in Bulgaria on August 25 (a week after Radev was nominated as Bulgarian Socialist Party backed presidential candidate), could not have been discussing personally his possible nomination, as it was a fact already.
