A protest march against Roma aggression is scheduled for tonight in Nova Zagora, provoked by the assault on a 17-year old boy.

“The protestors are expected to pass along one of the town's central streets and to reach the roundabout on the Sofia-Bourgas main road,” said Deputy Mayor Ivailo Enev.

Earlier this week the municipal council submitted an enquiry to the interior minister, asking how many police officers were responsible for keeping the peace in the municipality and asked for the appointment of an additional 20.

An enhanced police presence is expected in Nova Zagora tonight.
