Iliana Iotova has won Bulgaria's presidential runoff with 57.58% of the vote, becoming the first woman elected to the office. Her victory, on a platform advocating dialogue with Russia and opposing aid to Ukraine, signals a potential shift in Bulgaria's foreign policy orientation, though the extent of policy change is uncertain given the president's limited foreign policy powers.
