The mayor of Sofia’s Sredets district Traycho Traykov will assign a procedure for the relocation of the Monument to the Soviet Army which now stands in Borisova Gradina park in the centre of Sofia.
“I shall assign the start of a procedure for the relocation of the facility, after, all of a sudden, it turned out that the entire Sofia city council, minus the Bulgarian Socialist Party, support and expect such a step,” Traycho Traykov wrote on Facebook.
The council decision for the monument’s relocation is from 1993 but has never been implemented. The controversy over whether the Stalinist, in terms of style and ideology, monument should remain in the centre of Sofia or whether it should be relocated has been raging for many years.
