The MEPs from GERB/SDS have warned European leaders there exist potential black lists of books in Serbia, as well as that a Serbian citizen with Bulgarian national identity was not allowed to bring a book by a Bulgarian poet into the country, GERB/SDS’s press centre has announced.

On 9 August this year, at Oltomantsi-Ribartsi border crossing, Alexander Dimitrov, chairman of Glas association, was asked to take three copies of a book by Edvin Sugarev "The Fate of the Bulgarians in the Western Outlands" back to Bulgaria, even though there is no ban on bringing it into the country. The Bulgarian side delivered a note verbale on the matter, demanding that the official Serbian institutions provide an explanation on the incident.
