Bulgarian protests against the Roma community and the government for its failure to deal with organized crime subsided after a third night following the arrest of Roma clan leader Kiril Rashkov.
The protests, sparked by the hit-and-run killing of 19-year-old Angel Petrov by an associate of Rashkov in the Katunitsa village near Plovdiv during the weekend, rallied around 600 people in nine cities last night, the Interior Ministry said on its website. Police detained 10 people, after 168 on Sept. 27. There were no severe casualties or damage, police said.
