"There is no danger that the machine vote will be manipulated", said Prime Minister Nikolai Denkov from Brussels, after a report by the State Agency for National Security (SANS) revealed earlier that a deputy minister from the "We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria" quota had copied and exported codes for the machine vote on Sunday.
