The Metropolitan Directorate of Internal Affairs gave a briefing before the derby between CSKA and Levski on Saturday.
“The measures at the stadium will be even stricter than last time. The buffer zones are bigger. In case of incidents like there were a few weeks ago, the next measures will be even more serious.
We are limiting some of the choreography. There will be, but some things won’t be allowed, like vinyl, which is flammable. There will be no rockets and pyrotechnic illuminati during the match,” said chief inspector Ivan Georgiev.

He admitted that the fans are innovative and the rocket launchers brought in last time were of miniature size.
“The devices from which the rockets were launched are half the size of a flash. The rockets themselves are the size of a phalanx on a finger. It is difficult to catch such small rockets. The devices can be disassembled and rockets can be launched over 100 meters,” said the Defense Ministry .
Inspector Georgiev did not rule out the possibility of evacuating sectors in case of serious incidents. “If necessary, sectors will be emptied, but I hope common sense will prevail and the fans will turn the event into a sporting celebration,” he said.
“The police presence will be noticeable, both in the outer districts and in the center and saturated around the stadium. The access regime will be in several stages.
There will be two laps around the stadium. In the first round, the police will check, and in the second round, the security companies engaged by the host. The commitment of SDVR is escorting the buses of the two teams and setting aside a reserve to provide assistance to the organizer and the security companies,” said Ivan Georgiev.
He stated that checks will be made at the sports facility, police surveillance during the match will also be increased, drones will also be included, and the perpetrators will be arrested either on the spot, in the event of an incident, or after the match is over. .
Stadium doors open at 2:15 p.m., and police have urged early entry into the facility.
