PM Borissov: Coalition stays and “no-one option” is counted only in majority elections, reads the head title of 24 Hours. Bulgarians living in EU countries will vote without restrictions, and votes by selecting "I do not support anyone," will not be subtracted from the total number of ballots, the paper writes. There would have been a risk for the government if we had not reached an agreement about election rules, Borissov added, quoted by the newspaper. We agreed on everything, he said and added there were no plans for changes in the coalition.

Standard also used words of the Bulgarian Prime Minister for its main article. "I would not throw the country into chaos," the PM was quoted saying. The partners in government and the party that supports it - the Patriotic Front, agreed that limits to the number of polling stations in EU countries will be lifted, the newspaper writes.

Leading Bulgarian lawyers joined the appeal of European academic legal community to the European Commission and the European Parliament not to sign transatlantic trade agreements with the US and Canada. This is what the Zemya newspaper informs, adding that this was related to parallel mechanisms, used by investors to sue countries.

Twice as many immigrants were detained while trying to enter the country last week, Trud writes. For the period from October 6 to 13th arrested people were 734, while in September and during the first week of October, the number of migrants was between 400 and 500, data of the Ministry of Interior shows.

Achieving a level of 40% of top and middle management positions of companies being occupied by women is one of the objectives that the government plans to recommend to companies in this country, Sega writes. This is what a draft national strategy for promoting equality between women and men (2016-2020) published for public discussion by the Social Ministry, reads.

Nearly half of foreign investment in real estates in Bulgaria come from Switzerland, Standard writes. For the first eight months of the year net foreign investments in Bulgarian real estate reach 51.9 million euro in comparison to a level of 40.9 million euros in the same period of 2015. The largest share of investments in Bulgarian real estates come from Switzerland (22.7 million euros, or 43.8% of the total amount) and Norway - 6.1 million euros, or 11.8%. Russia comes third with 5.6 million euros, or 10.7%.
