| | CNN.com - Ex-king leads in Bulgarian polls - June 16, 2001 |
 | | Opinion polls show the National Movement for Simeon II, founded by the 64-year-old ex-king in April, is well ahead of the centre-right coalition of Prime Minister Ivan Kostov. |
 | | Simeon II returned to Bulgaria this year from a five-decade exile that began when he left in 1946, at the age of 9. |
 | | Simeon II's movement, seizing on the popular disenchantment, has proposed a zero tax on reinvested profits, higher wages, a balanced budget, and projects aimed at reducing unemployment and rooting out corruption, Associated Press reported. |
