A group of Bulgarian tourists had a frightening experience in neighboring Serbia, file photo
Bulgarian tourists have been sprayed with teargas in Bosilegrad in neighboring Serbia.
The Focus news agency reports that the group went for lunch at a restaurant when a group of Serbians with criminal records arrived and began spraying. The Bulgarians left in a hurry as they were chocking, while one young woman fainted.
There are two rumors spreading in Bosilegrad – that this was a deliberate attack on Bulgarians or retaliation against the owner of the restaurant over a turf war.
Police have arrived immediately and later arrested the perpetrators.
The tourists have returned back to Bulgaria.
