That announcement is the only thing that moves this needle—no intermediate developments matter under the resolution criteria 31 December 2026.

For now, the price reads as a strong lean toward Sofia, though 12% still carries real probability. This is a live market on a future announcement; the current odds reflect what traders believe the EBU will announce, not what they’ve already decided.
