BULGARIA'S former king, Simeon II, was barred from standing for the presidency by a court ruling yesterday.
The exiled king was ruled ineligible because he has not lived in Bulgaria for more than half of each of the past five years. Simeon Borisov Saxe-Coburgotski returned in 1996 and has visited seven times since. Matthew Brunwasser, Sofia
