A special unit of the Russian police, or “Militia”, has raided residential buildings at the Bulgarian Industrial Center in Moscow.
According to the Bulgarian Embassy in Moscow, the Militia officers behaved rudely, the Bulgarian National Radio reported.
It is still unclear what was the motivation of the Russian police for the raid. The Bulgarian Consul in Moscow is working on clarifying the case.
Bulgaria’s Embassy to Russia may send a protest note to the Russian authorities since the raid at the Industrial Center has a diplomatic status under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, and the Ambassador’s permission is required for the entering of any officers of the Russian state.
The Russian forces have raided several apartments where Bulgarian business representatives reside with their families. There is still no information of any arrests.
Expect details as more information becomes available.
