The elections take place amid deep public discontent with the ruling coalition's failure to tackle widespread corruption and organised crime, which has not only tarnished Bulgaria's image, but has also led to the freezing of hundreds of millions of euros in EU aid.
Izbori se održavaju usred dubokog nezadovoljstva javnosti zbog neuspeha vladajuće koalicije da se uhvati u koštac sa rasprostranjenom korupcijom i organizovanim kriminalom koji nisu samo zamrljali imidž Bugarske, nego su doveli i do zamrzavanja stotina miliona evra pomoći EU.
