The Blue Coalition (Bulgarian: Синята коалиция, romanized: Sinyata koalitsia) was a centre-right[6] electoral alliance in Bulgaria, whose members were the Union of Democratic Forces (SDS), Democrats for a Strong Bulgaria (DSB) and three smaller parties. The members of the European Parliament elected on the coalition's list sat with the group of the European People's Party.[7]
