Bulgaria currently stands at a crossroads, with one group
pulling the country toward the West, and an alliance of corruption,
crime, and capture tethering the country toward Russia. These
already high tensions are now also widening further, with the
Bulgarian population heading to the polls for the fifth time in 2
years, and increasingly fringe candidates skewing internal
discourse. Will Bulgaria be able to finally divest itself away from
Moscow, or will it continue to act as a backdoor for Russian
influence into the EU and NATO? We ask our panel of
experts.
On the panel this week:
- Georgi Gotev (Euractive)
- Daniela Žuvela (Fortescue)
- Vessela Tcherneva (ECFR)
