For the first time a polling station is being set up on board a Bulgarian ferryboat which is to set sail from the fishing port in Burgas tonight. This is happening at the request of the vessel’s captain Plamen Panayotov. The polling station will be used by the 28 sailors working on board the Bulgarian ferry called Druzhba. The vessel operates regular services to Batumi, setting sail from Port Burgas every Friday. On the day of the elections for Bulgarian parliament, 11 July, Druzhba will be on the open sea.
