Saturday, 9 November 2019 marks 28 months since Nikki’s abduction. I look through my records and find a formal application (in Bulgarian) for contact with Nikki signed by me on 22 April 2019, in between the appeal judgement and lodging the application I lost 3 months scrambling around trying to find out how to kick-start this process.

Nikki’s Mom stated that she did not oppose negotiations through a mediation procedure (from a legal perspective opposing it would have been a dreadful move, no matter what her pathological state). The proposal to me, is if I agree to participate in a mediation procedure, then it is proposed (by the Bulgaria Ministry of Justice/Central Authority) that the  mediation be carried out at the Family Mediation Center in Sofia,Bulgaria and they will supply a list of mediators…..The Bulgarian Ministry of Justice will not answer any questions related to the mediation and I would need to speak to the mediator about costs and travel (you can see why Nikki’s Mom would agree to these terms of mediation). We had attempted mediation in South Africa and after describing Nikk...
