Caretaker PM Ognyan Gerdzhikov said that under current Bulgarian law election tourism could not be restricted, according to the Bulgarian National Radio.
He spoke on the occasion of organized bus trips from Turkey of Bulgarian expats of Turkish ethnicity willing to vote for parties based on the ethnic principle in the snap parliamentary elections in Bulgaria on 26 March.
