Sofia may soon be looking more towards Moscow, writes Der Standard:

“One party that has so far been excluded [as a coalition partner] is the DPS led by oligarch and media mogul Delyan Peevski: the US imposed sanctions against him in 2021 and his assets in the US were confiscated. But Peevski is hoping he will be removed from the sanctions list under a right-wing, populist Trump administration. … If Trump wins, Borisov may also consider forming a coalition with the pro-Kremlin parties Vazrazhdane, the far-right Velichie or the Socialists. Because under Trump there will be no more pressure from Washington to strictly adhere to Bulgaria’s pro-Western orientation.”
