The foreign group of children accommodated in Bansko has arrived in our country for an international camp on a joint initiative of the Federation of Zionists in Bulgaria. This was announced on the air of “Hello, Bulgaria” the chairman of the organization, Nikolay Galabov, specifying that the visiting youth are from Switzerland, Italy, the Netherlands and the Netherlands.

His statement comes in response to the numerous signals registered with the local police about indecent behavior of tourists.

Galabov commented that the children do not speak Bulgarian and it is debatable what exactly they said, but stressed that a possible verbal provocation in no way justifies the aggressive reaction and attempts at self-harm on a racist basis by older local youth.
