For the early parliamentary elections in Bulgaria and the elections for European Parliament, which will be held on June 9, at this stage it is planned to open polling stations in 60 countries, reports BNR reporter Mira Stefanova.

The Central Election Commission has announced the polling stations in Bulgaria's diplomatic and consular missions, as well as those outside them, where at least 100 voters voted in previous elections. 

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not recommend opening polling stations in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv and in Odessa. It is also inappropriate to open polling stations in Ramallah, Palestine, our embassies in Tehran (Iran), Sana'a (Yemen), Baghdad (Iraq), Pyongyang (North Korea), Damascus (Syria), Tripoli (Libya), Kabul (Afghanistan).

For some of the polling stations announced to be opened abroad, there is still no confirmation that the host country has given permission.

At the moment, it appears that the largest number of sections abroad will again be in Turkey, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Germany, Spain and the United States.

In neighbouring Greece, polling stations have been identified for opening in the resorts of Kavala, Komotini, Nea Moudania, Nea Peramos, Nikiti, the islands of Corfu, Crete, Lefkada, Rhodes, Mykonos, Thassos and others.

The final decision on where the polling stations abroad will be located will be taken by the Central Election Commission no later than 21 days before election day.
