Pazardzhik (Central South Bulgaria) became the first Bulgarian town where wearing of burqas in public places was officially banned by the municipal council. All political parties represented at the local parliament backed the proposal, except for Evroroma. The ban is backed by the argument that wearing of burqas in public places obstructs the identification of the people, which poses serious risk to the security of the local citizens. Those who fail to comply with the ban would get a fine of EUR 150. The ones who break the ban again would receive a fine of EUR 500.
