SOFIA, Bulgaria (AP) — Bulgarians were casting their ballots on Sunday in a general election — the fifth in two years — hoping to end political instability and help overcome the economic woes fueled by a raging war in Ukraine.Polling stations opened at 7 a.m. (0400 GMT). Initial exit poll results will be announced after polls close at 8 p.m. (1700 GMT) and preliminary results are expected on Monday.Turnout is expected to be low due to voters’ apathy and disillusionment with politicians, who have been repeatedly unable to cobble together a viable government coalition. Moreover, in the last days before the vote, a wave of bomb threats targeted schools that are hosting polling stations for Sunday’s election. Cybersecurity experts attributed the threats to hacker groups engaged in hybrid attacks most likely linked to Russia and aimed at creating fear and reducing voter turnout.Traditionally, many Bulgarians share pro-Russia sentiments, which provides fertile soil for aggressive Kremlin ...
