Sofia, August 11 (BTA) - Bulgaria without Censorship (BwC), the Gergyovden Movement and the Agrarian National Union signed an agreement Monday to run together in the October 5 snap general elections in Bulgaria as the BwC coalition. The three parties thus delivered on the promise they made before voters in the Black Sea city of Bourgas last Friday.

The coalition will be co-chaired by the three parties' leaders: Nikolai Barekov of BwC, Roumen Yonchev of the Agrarians and Dragomir Stefanov of Gergyovden.
   
The coalition will be open to new members.

The three leaders say they have prepared "a very serious election programme with an emphasis on the need to sign a national doctrine".
   
Barekov said he is looking forward to the appointment of the BwC representative to the Central Election Commission by the President.

He also said that he "still trusts" Prime Minister Georgi Bliznashki and Interior Minister Yordan Bakalov.

The coalition will present its lists of candidates for the elections before September 2. Barekov confirmed that he will top the lists in Plovdiv and Varna. Rosen Petrov and Lyuben Dilov will be leading candidates in Sofia.
   
In July, former BwC partner Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization left the coalition and formed an alliance with the National Front for Salvation of Bulgaria.
