Mixed patrols of Roma people and employees of the municipal security company Egida should be located in Sofia’s residential districts populated by Bulgarians and Roma, Sofia mayor Boiko Borissov said.
Borissov’s statement came after his meeting with Tsvetelin Kunchev, leader of the Roma party Evroroma, Focus news agency reported. Kunchev himself made the proposal for the patrols.
There were already Roma people appointed in Egida, Borissov said. Roma organisations suggested another 20 people, who could work for the company.
The new Egida employees of Roma origin will be checked and will undergo all training needed, according to the laws for private security activity.
Kunchev said that such patrols would show that Bulgarians and Roma are consolidated and no “secondary factors can cause artificially tension.”
On August 12 and 13 2007 controversy erupted in the Krasna Polyana residential district. Some 200 Bulgarians and Roma people took part in a mass fight. The fight was allegedly a revenge of skin heads’ attacks in the district.
Borissov would order the establishment of such patrols as early ad on August 21 2007, Focus said.

 | The torture exists inside Bulgaria, it is realized by the police and the courts against the women who are divorced and marry in another country with a foreigner. If she have a son or a daughter with her ex-husband, she can´t To take them with her.
The court detrmines that the mother returns to Bulgaria if she wants to be with her children, without importing the family that she has constructed in other country.
The police take the passports from the children assuring remain in Bulgaria and They threaten the judges saying they are going to lose his or her employment if they allow to the children to go out of the country.

| It's a big shame that the authorities concerned are not taking and concrete action to address and eradicate the incessant attacks and abuses on the Roman people, africans, asians, by the obnoxious group called skinheads...i am an african living and working in Bulgaria for the past 10years, married to a bulgarian citizen.. i have been attcked more than 6 times brutally by the skinheads without getting any form of justice .
it's disgusting and shameful that the competent authorities for long have been turning a blind eye to this sensless attacks .
How i wish i could go back to Africa and set up an organisation against all the bulgarians residing in my country, attack and abuse them they way we african have been subjected to it here...
