Police prevented the demolition of another tobacco warehouse in Plovdiv, which was planned for today. Police officers denied access to its owner Plamen Moravenov, who said that the site was not a cultural monument. In his words, the demolition plan does not concern the entire tobacco warehouse, but only part of the building whose structure is compromised". 

Plamen Moravenov also said that he had photographed the facade and would restore it in the spirit of the Tobacco City. According to the owner of the warehouse, the local authorities have repeatedly tried to initiate a dialogue between the National Institute of Immovable Cultural Heritage (NIICH) and the building’s owners, but the cultural institution has never responded.
