Sofia condemns all forms of anti-Semitism

Bulgaria categorically condemns all forms of anti-Semitism, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs wrote in a statement. The reason is an incident that occurred on August 2, when a group of Bulgarian youths made threats and anti-Semitic insults to Italian students staying at a hotel in Bansko.

"Bulgaria is deeply concerned by reports of anti-Semitic acts directed against a group of young Italian Jews. Such actions are unacceptable and have no place in a democratic society," the statement posted on the social network "X" reads. The ministry is in close contact with the police and the interior ministry to clarify the circumstances surrounding the incident and is ready to provide assistance to the Italian side, the statement also reads.
