European Elections Night 2024 - First publication of available national estimates from Bulgaria, Croatia and Malta

SOUNDBITE (Original), Neil CORLETT, Head of the Press Unit at DG COMM of the EP, Ladies and Gentlemen. My colleague Delphine announced earlier the estimates from the first five countries. We now have an update for three more. In this case Bulgaria, Croatia and Malta, which will be added to the previous chart and made available on the results website. In the case of Croatia, though, we don't yet have robust figures for the turnout. They will come later. Thank you.
