Bulgaria has approved what Communist Party leader Todor Zhivkov called major reforms to make the East Bloc nation more democratic and its economy more flexible, Bulgaria’s official BTA news agency said. In a dispatch monitored in Vienna, the agency said the changes will allow Bulgarians to vote on major issues and will require two or more candidates to run for each assembly seat. The agency said the party’s Central Committee endorsed Zhivkov’s reforms at a meeting in Sofia.
