Exciting News: Opening of Varna's New Central Bus Station in May
Architects Martin Hristov and Galina Baleva, who have crafted the design, revealed that a novel central bus station in Varna is scheduled to be inaugurated in late May
The Diocesan Council is making Sunday a second attempt to elect two candidates for Varna and Veliki Preslav metropolitan, after the first vote was annulled by the Bulgarian Holy Synod.
The vote is already underway in the Black Sea city of Varna.
The first round vote, which took place on November 17, elected Bachkovo Monastery abbot Boris and little-known bishop Ignatius as contestants for the second round.
Prior statements made by controversial abbot Boris and the virtual non-electability of bishop Ignatius were among the reasons cited for believing the vote was pre-arranged.
The Holy Synod decided that a first-round local vote will be held again December 15 in Varna, while the second-round canonical election will be held a week after.
There are 13 candidates total – the youngest is 37, the oldest – 68.
The vote is secret and each voter must circle 2 names on the ballot. The two collecting the most votes are declared elected. If no one gathers sufficient support (50% + 1), there will be a runoff.
If there are no violations, the Holy Synod will make the choice between the two frontrunners on Sunday, December 22.
