The Social Democratic Party (SDP) of Romania is a major left-centrist political party. Currently it supports the minority government of the National Liberal Party, although it did not participate in it. In the last legislative elections of 2004, the party won the largest share of the vote but as it did not have a majority, all the other major parties formed the Justice and Truth alliance, which managed to gain a parliamentary majority. In 2005 Mircea Geoană, considered a young reformer, was elected president of the party, defeating the former Romanian President Ion Iliescu. The party is member of the Socialist International.

Lactobacillus bulgaricus, the bacterium that gives Bulgarian yoghurt its unique flavour and thickness, can be found only in Bulgaria. Yoghurt may seem like something new because of its current popularity but it has been around for centuries. Basically, all yoghurt is cultured milk. The bacteria used most commonly are Lactobacillus bulgaricus (named so because yogurt was first discovered by the people of Bulgaria) and Streptococcus thermophilus. This is what gives yoghurt its jelly-like texture and semisour, tangy taste.
