Bulgarian President Rumen Radev congratulated future Romanian President Nicusor Dan, who won the second round of the presidential election with over 53% of the votes.

"I look forward to working together to further strengthen good-neighborly relations and the strategic partnership between our two countries, members of the EU and NATO," Rumen Radev wrote in English on the social network X.

The high voter turnout of over 65% played an important role in the tense vote, which many observers see as a choice between East and West. The considered favorite, George Simion, admitted his loss to the 55-year-old independent candidate Dan, who is currently still the mayor of Bucharest.
