SOFIA, Bulgaria (AP) — Hundreds of cheering fans waving Bulgarian flags have welcomed Eurovision Song Contest winner Dara upon her return home. The 27-year-old singer was visibly tired but smiling when she arrived on Sunday at Sofia’s Vasil Levski Airport holding up the Eurovision trophy. Bulgaria’s major television stations made changes to their regular programs to air live coverage from the airport. Dara said that “this award marks the beginning of my future international career.†She won the 70th Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday in Vienna with her infectious party anthem “Bangaranga.†It gave the southeast European country its first-ever victory in the competition.
