A decision has been taken by the Reformist Bloc (RB) coalition to back GERB's candidate, Bozhidar Lukarski has told public broadcaster BNT.
"We cannot allow for a red general to head the state and change the Euro-Atlanticist orientiation of Bulgaria," Lukarski has argued.

Radev, a former Air Force Commander, is running as independent but is supported by the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP), the heir to the Soviet-era Bulgarian Communist Party.

The runoff vote is due on November 13, next Sunday.
