The Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has defined as "interference in the internal affairs of the country" the statement of the ambassador of Russia in Sofia, Eleonora Mitrofanova.

Mitrofanova told journalist Martin Karbovski last week that, if she could, she would vote for Vazrazhdane party. 

The Bulgarian Foreign Ministry defines as inappropriate the statement made by Mitrofanova and as an attempt to interfere in the internal affairs of the country, which contradicts the Vienna Convention on diplomatic relations. 

Bulgaria's Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikolay Milkov had a conversation in this sense with Ambassador Mitrofanova, the ministry said.
