The Prime Minister Zoran Zaev, who together with the Ministers of Health and Foreign Affairs, left for Sofia where a serious traffic accident took place last night in which at least 45 people died, said in a statement to MIA that he talked to one of the survivors who informed him that strong explosion.
– I am in contact with the Prime Minister Stefan Janev who has already visited the people. I had the opportunity to talk to one of the survivors. He explained that they were sleeping on the bus when a loud explosion was heard. They managed to break one of the windows and save several people. Unfortunately, the others failed. It is a terrible tragedy because most of them are children – 12 children are under 18 years old, and the others are young people around 20-30 years old. Most of them are our citizens, but there are also from Serbia, Zaev told MIA.
Probably, as he said, they were returning from an excursion, but the details of this will be further determined.
– We still do not know all the information because we are focused on the survivors, to see if they are good, if someone is in danger. “We will find out the initial information from the Bulgarian services, and then it will be determined which were the destinations from which they were returning, as well as all the remaining details,” Zaev said in a statement to MIA.
