We will wait for the professional services to say the reasons for the accident. The victims are not only from Skopje, but from many places. They are all citizens of Northern Macedonia, they are of many nationalities, but there is also a citizen from Presevo, Serbia, who together with his fiancée from Kumanovo was in Istanbul for a walk. We also saw in the list that there is a person with Belgian citizenship, said Prime Minister Zoran Zaev, who today, together with the Ministers of Health and Foreign Affairs, Venko Filipce and Bujar Osmani, visited the seven hospitalized in Pirogov Hospital in Sofia.

Answering journalists' questions, Zaev said that he still did not know the details, although he had information that the seven survivors, when the accident occurred, managed to break the window in the back seats.

- I will leave it to the Bulgarian experts to say the analysis of the causes of the accident. The living have the impression that it happened. If we politicians say that, a problem can arise. The Prime Minister of Northern Macedonia can not say whether the speed was appropriate or whether the bus was correct, it will be said by the professional services, experts and professionals, said Zaev.

He, as he pointed out, received the information about the accident at 3:30 last night from the Prime Minister Stefan Janev, and then President Radev called him.

- I am grateful for the commitment to the investigation. I know that they do everything for their citizens. We will be able to find out the details after the visit to the hospital from Janev. I will see him first, and Minister Stoev is always with us. We are grateful for all the assistance, underlined Zaev.

He also informed that family members of the people who were hospitalized had already come to the hospital.

"They are here, they had the opportunity to see their relatives, to talk to them, and we will meet some of them," said the Prime Minister.

Zaev also said that the Minister of Interior, Oliver Spasovski, informed him that the carrier is "Besa Trans", which by default and most often runs tourist tours on the route Istanbul - Sofia - Skopje.

- I can not say details, I only know the name of the company, that it deals with tourism and that there are several buses, as well as that they are often on the route Istanbul - Sofia - Skopje, said Zaev.
