Bulgarian tobacco growers are staging a large protest rally Thursday in the capital Sofia.

They are gathering in front of the building of the Presidential office in the very heart of the city to demonstrate against the amendments to the Tobacco Act, which are banning the sale of the so-called hollow cigarettes or casings.

The tobacco growers demand from the President to impose a veto on the amendments, along with keeping jobs in the sector, and protecting investments in the country's business.
