Joveski: The thesis about the tubes is speculation, the Bulgarian prosecutors are working on the investigation
Macedonian authorities take biological material from relatives for DNA analysis. The thesis about the tubes is speculation, the Bulgarian prosecutors are working on the investigation, the state prosecutor of the Republic of Northern Macedonia Lubomir Joveski told BTV and explained that during the inspection of the burned bus on the Struma highway, he saw plastic tubes that did not burn.
Joveski explained that biological material is currently being taken from the relatives of those killed in Macedonia to perform DNA tests and identify the bodies. He said the Macedonian prosecution would be activated only after the case was investigated by Bulgarian prosecutors, as they would find nothing in parallel.
At the moment, the Macedonian and Bulgarian prosecutors are cooperating well, Joveski added. It is not yet known whether the cause of the accident was human error or a malfunction of the bus. He said that the bus was almost new, only three years old, and in October it passed a technical inspection in Northern Macedonia.
