On March 23, President Rumen Radev is to meet with representatives of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), who are part of the organization's mission that is to observe the upcoming April 4 parliamentary elections in Bulgaria, BTA has reported.

The mission, led by Corien Jonker, includes observers from 10 countries. 11 experts work in Sofia, and 12 long-term observers are located across the country. On March 19, the mission published an interim report on the election campaign.

In addition to other critical comments, the document points out that despite previous recommendations, a ban on campaigning in languages other than Bulgarian continues to exist.
