In view of the humanitarian aspect of the case we have asked the competent Bulgarian institutions to ensure an unimpeded, priority entry into Bulgaria of the relatives of the deceased and injured, as well as of the representatives of local media. Within its competencies, the MFA also provides assistance to a team of forensic physicians, as well as to employees of the Ministry of Interior of the Republic of North Macedonia, who will arrive in our country in connection with the accident.
