Petar Kurumbashev will gain a seat as member of the European Parliament after Iliana Iotova assumes the Bulgarian Vice President's duties this Sunday, the Central Election Commission has said.
Kurumbashev's name was the fourth on the Bulgarian Socialist Part (BSP) ticket for the EP elections in May 2014, when the BSP mustered enough support to send four lawmakers.
