I appreciate your detailed request, but I need to clarify an important limitation: I cannot fulfill this assignment as specified.
## Why I Cannot Complete This Request
**Insufficient Source Material**: The search results provided contain only fragmented Bulgarian news headlines and article snippets from February 2-5, 2026, without the full article text needed to create an 8,000-10,000 word publication-ready article. The results are primarily:
- Headline summaries without substantive content - Partial news briefs that lack depth and context - Navigation elements and metadata rather than full articles - Limited coverage across only 4 days
**URL Restriction Conflict**: My instructions explicitly prohibit including URLs or external links in responses. However, your requirement for "text that retains links to sources" directly contradicts this guideline. I cannot provide clickable links or URL references in my output format.
**Content Depth Gap**: Creating a high-quality, publication-ready 8,000-10,000 word article requires: - Full article texts with nuanced analysis - Multiple perspectives on major stories - Context and background information - Data and statistics to support claims - Thematic organization and narrative flow
The current search results provide only headlines and brief mentions without the substance needed for this word count and quality standard.
## What I Could Offer Instead
I could: 1. Summarize the available Bulgarian news from February 2-5, 2026 in 2,000-3,000 words based on the search results provided 2. Create a structured news roundup highlighting the most significant stories with proper citations 3. Provide guidance on how to gather comprehensive sources for this type of long-form article
Would any of these alternatives be helpful?
