In fulfilment of its commitments under the Electoral Code, in order to ensure the highest international standards for the conduct of fair, free and democratic elections, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued invitations for international observation of the early elections to the National Assembly of the Republic of Bulgaria and the elections to the European Parliament of the Republic of Bulgaria scheduled for 9 June 2024. Our Permanent Mission in Vienna sent a note verbale inviting the Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (OSCE/ODIHR) and the Parliamentary Assembly of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE PAOSCE). Invitations were also extended to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), through our Permanent Representation in Strasbourg, and to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (PABSEC) through our Consulate General in Istanbul. If these organisations are willing, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will propose to the CEC the registration of their representatives as international observers at the upcoming elections.
