Serbia and Canada have not denied permission for Bulgaria to open voting polls there, according to the spokesperson of the Bulgarian Foreign Affairs Ministry, Vesela Cherneva.
The spokesperson explained Sofia is still awaiting an official notification from both Serbia and Canada, but the Canadian side have given assurances they will do everything possible to have a voting poll in Montreal. She said that the Foreign Ministry will immediately inform the Central Electoral Commission, CEK, after receiving these notifications.
