The "Police Officer of the Year" awards ceremony was held today, December 17. in Sofia, for 31st time. The event was attended by caretaker Minister of Interior, Atanas Ilkov, Acting Prosecutor General, Borislav Sarafov, and representatives of the political leadership.

Amid the awards, the police trade union announced readiness to protest if salaries in the sector are not raised from the beginning of 2025.

According to the draft budget for 2025, Ministry of Interior employees are expected to receive higher wages. However, if this does not happen or if there are significant changes, the union is prepared to take strike action. Caretaker Minister, Atanas Ilkov, expressed optimism, stating that he believes the expectations of police officers will be met.
