The sale of 100% of the shares of Gallup International Balkan, a Zurich-based polling agency, has been finalised. The agency is a traditional partner of the Bulgarian National Radio in election coverage. 

The founders and previous shareholders Andrey Raichev and Kancho Stoychev have transferred their shares to the joint stock company Paxton Research, which was established for this purpose. 

The owners of Paxton Research are the conservative think-tank Research Centre for New Europe, headed by the constitutionalist lawyer Borislav Tsekov, and the association Republican Centre, headed by the constitutionalist lawyer Petar Kichashki.

Tsekov said that the agency is going to be restructured into a research centre with three directions - sociological; research in the field of constitutional law, which will also publish a journal with the participation of scholars and professors from Bulgaria and the US; the third direction, which will be formed jointly with US partners, is a centre for monitoring anti-democratic ideologies and propaganda in Bulgaria. Funding for the deal is provided by Tsekov and Kichashki's successful international business, according to the Gallup International Balkan website.
