The resolution will be voted on in the plenary session in Strasbourg on April 25. 

''The European Parliament expresses its concern about credible reports of increased Russian attempts to interfere in the upcoming elections for the Bulgarian national parliament on 9 June 2024; raises strong concerns about the existence and Russian control of a network of disinformation agents active on social media platforms, in traditional media, academia, NGOs, and political parties; is strongly concerned about the numerous properties on the territory of Bulgaria currently owned by Russian authorities, some of them of strategic importance, and which serve as centres of Russian influence and leverage over the democratic processes in the country’’, the resolution reads.
