Bulgaria's parliament postponed a confidence vote on Tuesday on a new Socialist-led minority cabinet after deputies opposed to the grouping left the chamber and prevented the quorum needed to hold the ballot. "There is no quorum. I ... am adjourning this session," said speaker Georgi Pirinski. "The next session of parliament will be tomorrow." A deepening political crisis could prompt snap elections and delay Bulgaria's plans to join the European Union in 2007, according to a report of Reuters.
