The public service broadcaster, Bulgarian National Television, will organise and broadcast the only debate between the two presidential candidates, Rumen Radev and Anastas Gerdzhikov, before the election run-off vote on Sunday.

The debate will be aired in primetime on Thursday, November 18, at 20;00 and would cover topics important to society, in which the main role is played by the presidential institution.
