Around 500 police officers have gathered to smoke in front of the Bulgaria Interior Ministry in Sofia to protest over unfair treatment against them.

Police officials said that the reasons for the smoking protest is the ongoing lack of dialogue between management and employees and the protests also mark one year since the first such protests in Bulgaria.

The Bulgarian police officers are reported to be outraged by the fact that the judiciary will be provided money for bonuses and wage supplements where as the police force will not be given any extra money.
