Edwin Sugarev's books, which the Serbian authorities confiscated on December 8 during a search of the "Bosilegrad" shopping center, have been returned by the law enforcement authorities of Belgrade, BGNES reported.
23 books "Elegy for the End", which tell about the cruel fate of the Bulgarian national minority in the Western suburbs, were seized as material evidence against the chairman of KIC Ivan Nikolov. The preliminary criminal proceedings against Ivan Nikolov are for inciting ethnic hatred, the High Court in Vranje has not yet ruled on it.
The operation of the Serbian services took place on December 8 - the Day of the Western Suburbs. The same day, the author of the book Edwin Sugarev and a group of Bulgarian public figures were stopped at the Serbian-Bulgarian border and were not allowed to Bosilegrad.
The actions of the Serbian authorities caused a sharp reaction in Bulgaria. The Serbian ambassador in Sofia, Zeljko Jovic, was called for explanations at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Bulgaria, and the Bulgarian ambassador in Belgrade submitted a demarche to the Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and demanded an explanation and an apology./BGNES
