Sofia Mayor Boyko Borissov proposed on Monday that Roma people should join
the police patrols in the city and take part in the guard of the city districts
where conflicts between the Roma and Bulgarians occur on a regular basis.
Mayor Borissov will send his proposal to the head of the Sofia police Rumen
Stoyanov and will demand more and bigger police patrols to be sent to the Krasna
Polyana district.
The city mayor and the leader of the Euroroma party Tsvetelin Kanchev agreed
on hiring 20 Roma people to serve in the municipality-owned security firm Egida.
Currently only fourteen Roma work for Egida.
At a Tuesday press conference Mayor Borissov informed that the Roma
population living in the Batalova Vodenitsa district will be moved in
Vazrazhdane and those living in the caravans on Europa Boulevard will be moved
in Suhodol.
