Foreign Minister Nickolay Mladenov today met, at his initiative, Captain Stoyan Angelov and Captain Antoni Madzharov of the Bulgarian Shipmasters’ Association. The meeting discussed the case of Bulgarian citizen Svetlozar Sobadzhiev who was arrested in Panama for drug trafficking.
 
Minister Mladenov and the representatives of the Association discussed the procedural safeguards for Mr Sobadzhiev during the pre-trial proceedings and the possibility of assistance from the Bulgarian Embassy in Mexico, which is responsible for representation in Panama. On the instructions of the Foreign Minister, the Bulgarian Consul in Mexico will visit Captain Sobadzhiev in prison in Panama in mid-October and also will have discussions with local authorities, the Honorary Consul and the defence counsel for the detained Bulgarian national.
