The Istanbul Anadolu 21st Family Court has issued a public announcement concerning a divorce case, identified by case number 2018/711. The proceedings involve the defendant, Savina Zaharieva Marinova, who is a Bulgarian national residing in Ruse, Bulgaria.

According to the court's notice, attempts to serve Marinova with the lawsuit at her listed address have been unsuccessful. Subsequent efforts to locate her through address inquiries have also failed to yield any results. Consequently, the court has decided to notify her of the pre-trial hearing date through public announcement.

The court document specifies that the defendant was informed that she did not submit a response within the stipulated period, and therefore, no further time would be granted for her to present evidence. The pre-trial hearing is scheduled to take place on September 22, 2026, at 11:05 AM.

Marinova has been warned that if she fails to attend the hearing or follow the proceedings on the scheduled date and time, the case may be dismissed. Furthermore, if she is absent and the plaintiff wishes to continue the legal proceedings, any actions taken in her absence will be binding, and she will not be able to object to them later. The notice also states that the summons will be considered officially served seven days after the publication of this announcement.
