...seat in the Brussels body still appears strangely attractive to a raft of minor celebrities. Among the candidates hoping to be elected or re-elected are former Czech astronaut Vladimir Remek; Finland's four-time winner of the Paris-Dakar rally, Ari Vatanen; Bulgarian Taekwondo champion and nightclub impresario Slavi Binev; and Paul Georg Maria Joseph Dominikus von Habsburg, the grandson of the last Austro-Hungarian emperor. Also making a bid is Gigi Becali, the owner of Romania's Steaua Bucharest soccer club, who is facing kidnapping charges...
