Constitutional Court to rule on Rumen Radev’s resignation

Today, the Constitutional Court is meeting to decide whether to formally accept President Rumen Radev’s resignation. The case will be presented by the court’s president, Pavlina Panova, acting as the reporting judge.

On Monday, in an address to the Bulgarian people, Radev announced his intention to step down and signalled his plan to enter politics.
