Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs Ferit Hoxha has expressed his condolences to the families affected by a tragic accident in Bulgaria.

“We are deeply saddened by the tragic accident in Bulgaria, which has claimed many lives and left others injured. Our thoughts and sincere condolences go to the victims’ families and loved ones, as well as to the people and government of Bulgaria,” Hoxha said.

He also wished all those injured a full and speedy recovery. Furthermore, he expressed support for everyone affected by the tragedy.

Twelve people lost their lives today in two major accidents that blocked Bulgaria’s Trakia motorway. Dense fog, which severely reduced visibility, is believed to have caused the crashes.
