Bulgarian Ambassador in Belgrade Petko Doykov Friday held a meeting at the Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the instructions of the Bulgarian Foreign Ministry. He served a nota verbale requesting clarifications from the official Serbian institutions regarding the August 9 incident with the Chairman of GLAS Association in Bosilegrad, Alexandar Dimitrov, the Bulgarian Foreign Ministry said in a press release.
On August 9, Dimitrov was stopped from entering Serbia from Bulgaria at the Ribarci border checkpoint on the grounds that he was carrying three books in Bulgarian, Dimitrov told BTA. He said Serbian border and customs authorities had held him at the checkpoint for four hours for carrying three copies of "The Fate of Bulgarians in the Western Outlands" by the former consul in Nis, Edvin Sugarev.
