Still pro-EU, Bulgarian’s cast a vote of no confidence for the current government
Consequences of Ukraine: Europe’s fragile cohesion (Commentary)
Dimitar Bechev & Piotr Buras - 20 May 2014
Below the superficial unity in response to the Ukraine crisis, member states are dividing into clusters, each with its own view on Russia.
Britain's Bulgaria-Romania phobia (Commentary)
Dimitar Bechev - 06 January 2014
The panic in Britain over prospective Bulgarian and Romanian immigration is based on a misunderstanding of European rules. It is also at odds with the country's best traditions.
Ukraine and Bulgaria show power of EU model (Commentary)
Dimitar Bechev - 09 December 2013
There are still countries in Europe where protestors enthusiastically wave the EU's star-studded flag rather than burning it in anger. These days Kiev's embattled EuroMaidan is as much the heart of the Union as the Schuman roundabout in Brussels. So who said Europe lacks a story and a cause?

Bulgaria: students to the rescue (Commentary)
Dimitar Bechev - 20 November 2013
Mistrust is the basic idiom of Bulgarian politics. The prolonged crisis in Bulgaria exposes the bankruptcy of an entire political system in desperate need of renewal.

Dimitar Bechev - 24 June 2013
Turkey's people power tide (Commentary)
Dimitar Bechev - 03 June 2013
The eruption of protest in Istanbul and other Turkish cities expresses vigorous opposition to the political direction of prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. This is a big, even historic, moment in Turkey.
Serbia, Kosovo and the benefits of normalisation (Commentary)
Dimitar Bechev - 24 April 2013
The EU-brokered deal between Serbia and Kosovo settles the most acute dispute in the Balkans and is likely to have an impact on the wider region. Yet it may be too early to declare victory in the Balkans.
