To coincide with the start of the new school year on 15 September, Bulgaria’s prosecutor’s office and Ministry of the Interior have launched a nationwide operation targeting drug trafficking near schools, shopping centres, nightclubs and other places frequented by teenagers, according to BGNES.
The operation seeks both to identify and arrest individuals involved in drug distribution and to ensure that criminal proceedings are fast-tracked.
Additional measures focus on protecting children in cyberspace.
