Police are searching for all those involved in the clashes in front of the European Commission building in Sofia on Saturday, February 22, Bulgaria’s Minister of Interior Daniel Mitov told public broadcaster BNT.
''Outrageous scenes in Sofia where our EU office has been vandalised. In Europe, we exercise the right to demonstrate in a peaceful way. Violence and vandalism are never the answer'', European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen wrote on X.
