Some of the handful of protesters assembled downtown in Bulgarian capital Sofia following snap general elections Sunday have clashed with police.
Stones and torches are being thrown at police and gendarmes in a chaotic incident that occured in front of the National Palace of Culture, reports the Bulgarian National TV.
Political parties are expected to hold press conferences at the palace later on Sunday evening.
Protesters are carrying signs against former ruling GERB party, which has won the vote according to exit polls, and are shouting "Mafia!"
Their number is estimated to be over 200, according to media reports.
The situation calmed down later on, with protesters still standing and calling for an annulment of election results.
Bulgaria's last PM, GERB chair Boyko Borisov, filed his resignation end of February, after a string of streets protests against stagnation and corruption in Bulgaria.
This was only months ahead of the July date for regular general elections.
