No Flowers for Outlawed Macedonian Party OMO Ilinden PIRIN


OMO Ilinden PIRIN PRESS RELEASE

On 4th of February 2001 a delegation of the political party OMO
Ilinden PIRIN was prevented by the Blagoevrgrad police to lay flowers
on the monument of the Macedonian national hero Goce Delchev on the
anniversary of his birth. Showing an order of prohibition signed by a
State Attorney representative Snezana Kacarska the police turned back
the delagation with an explanation that since the party is illegal it
cannot lay flowers. The police refused to provide a copy of the order.
The request for a copy of the order was also denied by the police the
following day. 

A Bulgarian political party whose members are mainly ethnic
Macedonians OMO Ilinden PIRIN was outlawed by the Bulgarian
Constitutional Court in 2000. The party has filed a complaint with the
European Court for Human Rights.

Ivan Singartiiski, President
