In an interview with BNT caretaker Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikolai Milkov predicted a new record in the number of polling stations abroad. According to him, in the early parliamentary elections on October 2, some 700-800 polling stations will be opened in over 60 countries and between 150,000 and 250,000 Bulgarians will exercise their right to vote in them. Voting may not take place in Ukraine. This depends on the activity of our compatriots there, the minister said.
In Russia, voting will take place in two places - in Moscow and in St. Petersburg. Asked about diplomatic relations with the Russian Federation, Nikolai Milkov said that they were developing within a narrow framework determined by the fact that Russia is waging an aggressive war in Ukraine. At the moment, expulsion of more Russian diplomats is not being considered, but if the services sent signals, measures would be taken, the minister added.
