The first group of Bulgarian citizens who were stranded in Stockholm after being lured to Sweden with the promise of work during the berry picking season have returned to Bulgaria, local media inform.
The first bus carrying unfortunate berry pickers arrived at the Bulgarian Danube town of Vidin at 4:30 EET Friday.
Two more buses with rescued Roma workers are expected to arrive in the Balkan country later on Friday and early on Saturday.
The 62 of the Bulgarian Roma who remain in Stockholm have been accommodated in a school building by the Bulgarian embassy.
The Roma had been lured to Sweden and then left to fend for themselves in the forests.
On Monday, a 43-year-old man, whose name was not given, was detained in Sweden suspected of human trafficking, after a number of the berry pickers reported to local police he had tricked them into making the trip.
