Bulgaria's MEP Ilhan Kyuchyuk has called for pan-European protection of Bulgarian investigative journalist Christo Grozev and has sent a written question to EU High Representative for Foreign Policy Josep Borrell, the MEP's office reports. 
Kyuchuk emphasizes that, in addition to the investigation into the poisoning of the Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, Grozev is also the most famous Bulgarian journalist in Ukraine, who has proven with his work that he can expose the treachery of the Russian special services. 

"The news about the search for the journalist who is a winner of "The European Press Prize" for investigative journalism raises a number of questions that affect the security of European citizens," Kyuchyuk emphasizes. He also initiated a collection of signatures in the European Parliament in support of Grozev.

In an interview with BNR, Boyko Noev, an expert on national security and former ambassador of Bulgaria to NATO, announced that he had spoken with the journalist and learned from him that he was in contact with Bulgarian authorities who were taking measures for his security.
