There is great interest in Macedonia on how the investigation in Bulgaria is going and what are the reactions after the accident. That is why in the morning briefing we talked to the journalist Ognyan Georgiev from the Bulgarian "Capital".

- Bulgaria, like Macedonia, was shaken. This is the worst disaster in Bulgaria, but also in Europe in the last 10 years. Extremely tragic outcome. It happened in the middle of talks for forming a new government in Bulgaria, but it all stopped and this tragedy dominated yesterday, said Georgiev.

There are many assumptions about the causes of the accident in both Bulgaria and Macedonia.

- The fire killed most people, that is the assumption. Some say there was gas in the bus, but it is certain that the fire took their lives. It is not known whether it happened before or after the bus hit the sidewalks. The witnesses are in great shock and no adequate statement can be taken from them. From what is obvious, the driver was probably confused on the road, says Georgiev.

There is an announcement in Bulgaria that a Road Assessment Commission will be formed, which from 3 lanes at once becomes 2 lanes and a parking lot and is considered to be one of the most dangerous in Bulgaria.

- We did not say that this time is the most dangerous. According to Eurostat, all roads in Bulgaria are dangerous in terms of the number of fatal accidents. And Bulgaria is a transit country and it has a lot of traffic and care must be taken to ensure good road safety. Drivers must know and can easily navigate, and for that the roads should be well marked. There are no signs and that is the main problem, the roads do not meet European standards, Georgiev commented for the Morning Briefing.

Meanwhile, former Prime Minister Boyko Borisov's party, GERB, is demanding the resignation of ministers in the caretaker government.

- It is a political game. GERB knows that they are to blame, they have been in power for 10 years and their control bodies have not done their job. And this is not the first accident, only there are no court rulings, says Georgiev.
