Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev called for zero tolerance to violence in Bulgaria in a speech delivered at St. Kliment Ohridski University of Sofia that focused on violence in daily life. According to statistics the Bulgarian society has been increasingly faced with violence – at home, in schools, online and at the workplace, in the street, on the road, with women and children being the most vulnerable groups.
