Rumen Radev Assumes Office as Bulgaria’s New Prime Minister
Rumen Radev has officially taken office as the Prime Minister of Bulgaria, stepping into the role with a stated commitment to establishing national stability.
The transition of power has prompted immediate responses from key European leaders. Both Ursula von der Leyen and Antonio Costa have issued congratulations to the new Prime Minister.
