Yesterday, during the day, I was in the Ministry of Transport and Communications, I was also at a Government session, where one of the points was this terrible accident that affected us all. I was in the Ministry together with the services to start with all those checks of the documentation and procedures for informing the Government and the public. I was in contact with the Minister of Transport of Bulgaria. He remained open if there was a need for me to be present in Sofia, The Minister of Transport and Communications, Blagoj Bochvarski, stated for the Morning Briefing.

-According to the usual information, last night we had a press conference at which we presented the findings, but in any case The investigation is being conducted by Bulgarian prosecutors in coordination with the Macedonian ones and we are available to give all our knowledge that we have, says Bochvarski.

- The Ministry is currently working and performing its responsibilities in the road sector. We have a road traffic department that I keep up to date with, where people have a lot of work to do. We perform the administrative part in relation to the entire set of procedures in the field of road transport, ie we issue licenses to transport companies, said Minister Bochvarski.

Regarding the supervision and control of public transport, it is the State Inspectorate for Transport. According to European regulations, the inspectorates have been removed from the ministries to be a special part of the department that will control the work and what is issued as documentation, but also the field work, adds Bochvarski.

- In the part of the ministry we have an internal audit which constantly controls the issued acts and that is undoubtedly done. This is a set of institutions. "I can not control the work of the State Transport Inspectorate, the Customs, the Ministry of Interior," he added.
