Protests took place in a number of Bulgarian cities on Sunday against high fuel prices in the country.
The protesters gathered in Sofia, Sliven, Kyustendil, Pazardzhik, Blagoevgrad, Varna, Burgas, Lovech and other cities and town, with the demonstration in Sliven being most massive, according to the Bulgarian National Television. Some 300 people and approximately 150 vehicles gathered in the southern Bulgarian town.
In Blagoevgrad, three effigies representing what protesters perceive to be monopolists in Bulgaria were symbolically hanged from a bridge. The effigies represented Lukoil, mobile operators and the CEZ power distributor.
Protesters have once again complained about what they see as the abuse of a dominating marked position for car fuels in the country by Russian-owned company Lukoil Bulgaria.
