– just as happened with Bozhkov in 2020. Then documents were awaited for Taki from Bulgaria to make a decision irrespective of whether to extradite him. Times afterwards, the then main prosecutor, Boris Velchev, signed a ask for for Taki’s extradition and filed it with the Ministry of Justice. Then the condition prosecutor announced that it was awaiting the choice of the proficient authorities. What it is, remained a key.
