The elections were peaceful and transparent, no significant violations were found. Citizens cast their votes freely, caretaker Prime Minister Galab Donev said at the beginning of the government meeting.

"The voters who took part in the elections decided that a coalition formula for creating regular government is inevitable. The low voter turnout and the high number of voters who chose ‘I do not support anyone’ are a reason for rethinking political behavior," Donev said.

"By not supporting anyone or not voting, voters oblige politicians to offer a better version of themselves. Despite the expectations, we hope that the 48th Parliament will have a long life," the Prime Minister added.
