Sofia Mayor Boyko Borisov proposed on Monday that Roma people should join the police patrols in the city and take part in the guard of the city districts where conflicts between the Roma and Bulgarians occur on a regular basis.
Mayor Borissov will send his proposal to the head of the Sofia police Rumen Stoyanov and will demand more and bigger police patrols to be sent to the Krasna Polyana district.
