Bulgaria's religious leaders are calling for calm after the country's worst civil unrest for more than a decade.
Hundreds of people took to the streets across the country's cities throwing bottles and stones at police after a dispute erupted between a Roma clan leader and Bulgarian villagers, in the worst outbreak of unrest for many years in the Balkan country.
Tension has built since residents of Katunitsa blamed Roma leader Kiril Rashkov for the death of a 19-year-old man and set on fire several of his houses and cars at the weekend.
