"Along with that I would like to say to the Greek and the Bulgarian authorities and to those in all European countries that Maria is not in the street alone; Maria is not the victim of illegal adoption alone. Many children are victims of this organized system of trafficking in children.
We have recently organized a forum in Thessaloniki with the participation of colleagues from different countries. The Bulgarian Nadja Centre foundation attended it as well. The aim of the forum was to show that exploitation concerns all children. We should not focus our attention on one child alone, because the case has become publically known, but we should turn our eyes to the children who are in the street or in the hands of an alleged "mother", and are victims of trafficking. All together, we here and our colleagues in other countries must work to break this exploitation of children," concluded the director of "The Smile of the Child".
GRReporter joins the appeal of the organization and ceases to publish photos of Maria.
