They arrived early on 2 November and were assisted with temporary accommodation. All citizens were issued with the necessary travel documents. The necessary arrangements have been made for their return to Bulgaria on civilian flights. Instructions have been sent to the Bulgarian diplomatic missions along the transit route to Bulgaria to provide full cooperation.
