Budimir Kujovic appeals

Budimir Kujovic appeals Thursday before the Bulgarian court of appeal in the city of Plovdiv against his arrest.
The trial will be closed for media and security measures will be very tight, authorities told reporters.
Serbian national Kujovic was arrested on December 30 on suspicions of masterminding a drug smuggling channel after Bulgarian customs officers at the Kapitan Andreevo border check point with Turkey seized 60 kilograms of heroin.
The arrest caused a scandal that jolted Bulgaria's Interior Ministry, which had issued Kujovic a Bulgarian passport although he had a 10-year ban to enter the country.
