According to a recent article in The Independent, the Bulgarian capital ranks as the fourth most dangerous city in Europe.
The ranking is based on the latest edition of the Quality of Living Index compiled annually by the largest HR consulting firm Mercer, which was released earlier this week.
The article notes that Sofia has dropped to 118th place in the personal safety ranking due to the high level of social unrest.
In particular, the Bulgarian capital has seen protests against the government over benefit and pension cuts and corruption
The article identifies Kiev as the most dangerous city in Europe, followed by Belgrade and Athens.
