The Kingdom of Bulgaria Confederation, a coalition of pro-monarchist organizations, was scheduled to field candidates in the Bulgarian elections held in October 1991 (BBC Summary 8 Oct. 1991). However, this organization did not receive the required four percent of the vote and therefore did not win any seats in the Parliament (FBIS-EEU-91-203 21 Oct. 1991, 4; FBIS-EEU-91-200 16 Oct. 1991, 6).
There is no further information currently available to the IRBDC on this topic.
