Paragraph 78
 

XII. Other issues

The draft Code states that “[t]he election campaign shall be conducted in Bulgarian language”, depriving minorities of the opportunity to promote their effective participation in public affairs through election processes. The OSCE/ODIHR and the Venice Commission still recommend that this provision be reviewed.
