We remember that in Sofia’s St. Kliment Ohridski University has launched an investigation into a case in which students believe that racism and xenophobia are taught in lectures.
In late November, Gerdjikov himself admitted that Mirchev was creating stereotypes, which was detrimental for students and future social workers.
