The three border crossings between Bulgaria and Turkey – Kapitan Andreevo, Lesovo and Malko Tarnovo are blocked and crossing is impossible, said Bulgaria's Interior Ministry.

They are blocked by supporters of the Bulgaria Without Censorship party as a measure against election tourism and tries to stop Turks of Bulgarian origin with dual citizenship from travelling to Bulgaria to celebrate the upcoming Kurban Bayrami holiday and vote in the elections on Sunday.

According to the Interior Ministry the situation so far remains calm.
