Sofia: Metro work damages mosque

According to the Chief Mufti's Office, the irresponsible attitude towards Islamic values was worrying and added to suspicions that lately there had been a trend of negative attitudes towards the Muslim community and its problems in Bulgaria.
The Chief Mufti's Office said that this was the most recent attempt to insult the Muslim place of worship, which is also a monument of culture of national importance.
