Very heavy “”, speak from family that lost four members in Bulgaria's accident

Seventeen of the 45 victims of the road accident in Bulgaria are from the University Community in Northern Macedonia.

One day after the disaster, the village was afflicted with mourning and grief.

The Iseni family has lost four family members, including Anisa a 14-year-old girl.

This is the worst news for our family. Four members, all at once in such a tragic case, in that massive fire burning people alive... I don't know... how to see and hear the news... we're broken. We have times we've experienced as a people, but it's too heavy, when it comes home, at your door, at your family”, says Anita's uncle, Fatty Iseni.

Anita's mother, Flip, is dead too. She was a teacher at the village primary school “Naim Frasher”. In her honor, the school, on November 23rd and November 24, has been teaching part - time.

“Day (November 23rd) was by no means able to realise the learning process, due to the loss of our colleague, our senior, respected teacher, a worker who has contributed several years to this school”, says Ramadan Xhaferi, professor of this school.

The bus, registered in northern Macedonia, is involved in fires on a highway southwest of Sofia on the morning of 23 November.

Investigations into the fire have begun. A total of 12 children are among the victims, including two twin brothers from 4 years of age.

Most of the travelers were tourists returning from a trip to Istanbul, Turkey. Seven people have been rescued and sent with burns to the hospital.

Northern Macedonia has declared three days of mourning for the victims. Days of mourning have also proclaimed Kosovo and Bulgaria.
