Following the instructions of Bulgaria’s Deputy Premier and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ekaterina Zaharieva the Bulgarian Ambassador to Belgrade Radko Vlaykov has sent a note of protest to the Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs against the desecration of the military ossuary Ledena Stena near the Serbian town of Nis. The bones of 2015 Bulgarian soldiers who died for the liberation of Yugoslavia at the final phase of the Second World War rest at the Ledena Stena ossuary. The Serbian authorities condemned the desecration of the monument and pointed out that this act of vandalism was discordant with the excellent relations between the two countries.
