The right-wing hard-liners from Democrats for Strong Bulgaria will enter the race for European parliamentarians with 13 nominees, the party said.

Assen Agov, Svetoslav Malinov, Konstantin Dimitrov and Ivan Ivanov are among the names to appear on the tickets of the party, led by former Prime Minister Ivan Kostov.

The youngest runner is Daniel Mitov, 29, a graduate in political sciences and European integration.

Bulgaria, which joined the European Union on January 1, 2007, will hold its first elections for members of the European Parliament in May.

Currently Bulgaria has 18 and Romania 35 MEPs at the European Parliament. They enjoy full-fledged rights, but are delegated by their parliamentary represented parties instead of elected by general suffrage.
