The sale of alcohol in the Bulgarian capital Sofia will be banned on November 15 from 6 am to 8 pm due to the elections for mayor that will take place that Sunday.
The ban does not include the wholesale of beer and spirits and in the bars and restaurants, where weddings, christenings, funerals and other happy or sad occasions are marked.
Police warned that on the day of the elections rallies, marches, meetings, canvassing and other events are forbidden.
Eighteen runners are vying to replace former mayor and current prime minister Boyko Borisov, the main rivals being Yordanka Fandakova, candidate from the ruling center-right GERB party, and Socialist Georgi Kadiev.
