SOFIA - Bulgarian President Petar Stojanov, who spoke late Saturday evening in the U.N. General Assembly session in New York, said he was "resolutely and categorically against the ethnic violence over the Serbian population in Kosovo and Metohija," leading Bulgarian dailies and electronic media reported Sunday.
Stojanov is the first Bulgarian statesman who strongly condemned ethnic Albanian terrorists and separatists in Kosovo and Metohija since the arrival of U.N. peacekeeping forces in the southern Serbian province.
The crisis in Kosovo and Metohija has imposed the need for introducing changes in the U.N. system, President Srojanov said and called on the world organization to compensate the losses caused by sanctions, as was the case in Yugoslavia and in Iraq.
The Bulgarian president also said that the interruption of navigation on the Danube after the destruction of bridges in the Yugoslav section of the river had divided the continent and called on Europe to resolve the problem.
