Sofia. From Central and Eastern European problem the Roma issue is growing into a common European one, VMRO Deputy Chairman Kostadin Kostadinov told FOCUS News Agency.
About a month and a half ago the political party sent a letter to the European Commission concerning the Roma issue and it has recently received the reply.
“The EC answered much more quickly than the Bulgarian Council of Ministers, which failed to sent a reply. We sent the two letters at one and the same time. The EC’s reply is a diplomatic agreement that there is a problem and it needs to be solved. The EC agrees there is a problem, but does not take a stand. We wanted it to put the issue on the EC agenda, because we think the issue is not Bulgarian any longer, if it has ever been at all,” Kostadinov added.
