The Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has recommended that the Central Election Commission should not open polling stations in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria, due to the high risk to life and health of citizens there. Because of little interest and low number of Bulgarians living there, the ministry does not find it necessary that voting stations should be opened in Ulan Bator - Mongolia, Islamabad – Pakistan, Addis Abeba – Ethiopia. In the Democratic People's Republic of Korea no applications for voting have been filed. A total of 48 countries, in 11 of which Bulgaria has diplomatic and consular missions, have not yet agreed to opening of polling stations for the upcoming Bulgarian presidential elections, it became clear from the interim report discussed by the CEC.
