National Selection Controversy

Prior to the pre-selection local Bulgarian newspaper, Trud, accused organizers of fixing the selection process in favour of the eventual winner, Krestiana Kresteva. A member of the pre-selection committee, Svetoslav Loboshki, denied the accusation, stating, "The article is based on false assumptions of the journalist or is an improper publicity stunt by some of the parents, whose children are involved in preselection".[2]
