The Bulgarian embassy in Athens condemned the move of the Bulgarian detained in Kavala after lowering the Greek flag in the port of the northern Greek city.
The behavior of the person in question during his stay in Kavala on August 4 and 5 of this year is absolutely unacceptable and in complete contrast to the excellent good neighborly relations between Bulgaria and Greece, as well as in the context of the integration of our two neighboring and friendly countries in the European Union, reports the Bulgarian Embassy in Athens.
Greek media reported yesterday that a 35-year-old Bulgarian man was arrested at the port of Kavala after he lowered the Greek flag, raised a Bulgarian flag and shouted: "This is Bulgaria."
The embassy clarifies in the comment that the person was arrested by the Greek police immediately after carrying out his illegal act in the port of Kavala.
After his detention and questioning by the police he was released by the supervising prosecutor under clearly defined conditions. In violation of these conditions, the person traveled by car in the direction of Bulgaria. At the Ilinden-Eksohi border crossing, the person was arrested by the Bulgarian police authorities. After being questioned by police, the person was released pending any further police or court proceedings, the embassy said.
The person has a previous conviction in Bulgaria for driving a car after consuming alcohol, adds the Bulgarian embassy in Athens.
