After a long meeting that lasted several hours, the Holy Synod shortlisted three candidates for new Bulgarian Patriarch. These are Metropolitan Gavriil of Lovech, Metropolitan Gregory of Vratsa and Metropolitan Daniil of Vidin.

The Patriarch will be elected at a Patriarchal Electoral Church Council on June 30.
