Bulgaria's pro-EU president wins 2nd term

Bulgaria's pro-Western president won an easy victory in a runoff election against a maverick ultranationalist who criticized his successful effort to lead the former communist nation into the European Union, official results showed Monday.

Georgi Parvanov won nearly 76 percent of the vote in Sunday's second-round ballot, a massive victory over his rival, Volen Siderov, who had just over 24 percent, according to figures announced by the Central Election Commission after 99 percent of the vote had been tallied.
