Court to hear Bulgarian citizen in Bartaševičs criminal case

The Vidzeme District Court in Gulbene has set a new date to question a Bulgarian citizen in connection with the criminal case against former Rēzekne mayor Aleksandrs Bartaševičs. The court confirmed to the LETA news agency that the individual had failed to appear at a previously scheduled hearing, prompting the rescheduling of his questioning for November 6 at 10:00.

Bartaševičs represents the "Kopā Latvijai"/LPV party and previously served as mayor of Rēzekne. He is now facing a criminal case being heard by the Vidzeme District Court. The testimony of the Bulgarian citizen is apparently considered relevant to the proceedings, which is why the court has arranged a new session specifically to secure his presence and statement.

No further details about the nature of the charges or the broader circumstances of the case were provided in the source report. The court is expected to continue proceedings according to its schedule, with the next known hearing set for early November.
