Information on a publication called Anti [BGR15412.E]
According to a representative of the Embassy of Bulgaria in
Washington, DC, Vassil Stainilov, a high-ranking official of the
Communist Party of Bulgaria during the Communist era, published
Anti in Sofia at least until June 1992 (29 Sept. 1993).
Anti, which was a weekly newspaper with " a very small
circulation," described itself as "a private forum for independent
information" (
Ibid.). While unable to determine exactly when
the first issue of
Anti was published, the representative
states that it was probably published after 1989. The
representative was also unable to determine whether
Anti was
still published.
This response was prepared after researching publicly accessible
information currently available to the DIRB within time
constraints. This response is not, and does not purport to be,
conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee
status or asylum.
