Prime Minister Kurti, before the start of the meeting, expressed condolences to the victims and invited the government cabinet for a minute of silence.

A trip that would have to end with good memories turned into a tragedy in Bulgaria's accident. On my behalf and on behalf of the Kosovo government, he expressed the most sincere condolences, while the injured quickly. In a sign of solidification with citizens of northern Macedonia, today in Kosovo is a day of mourning. I invite you for a minute of silence in honour of victims”, he said.

It is still not known how it came to the tragic accident in Bulgaria, where at least 45 people died and seven others were injured. But Bulgarian media report on three versions of how this accident could have happened.

According to experts with whom Dnevnik talked, the three versions of how this tragic case might have happened are technical dysfunction, human error, or weak infrastructure.

“Technical malfunction, human error or weak infrastructure. These are the three versions that, according to experts discussing Dnevnik, can be worked on investigating the serious accident on the Struma highway, where a Macedonian bus went on fire and 45 people lost their lives”, this medium writes.

The most deadly bus crash in Europe in the past 10 years will be investigated by the National Investigation Service (NSS) and under special supervision of the Sofia Appeals Prosecutor and the Supreme Cassation Prosecutor.

The official version of Bulgarian authorities, presented by Deputy Prosecutor Borislav Sarafov, who heads the USSK, is for work in two main ways ʹhuman error or technical dysfunction.

There will be no parallel investigation into northern Macedonia at this stage and local authorities will co-operate with their Bulgarian counterparts, Bulgarian media reports.

There are various comments on exactly what might have caused the fire, as well as when it happened, but there is no official information about it.

The Bulgarian prosecution only confirmed there has been an explosion whose reasons have not yet been clarified.

“The” blast was discovered in the words of Northern Macedonia Prime Minister Zoran Zaev in an interview for BTV on Tuesday morning, referring to the history of one of the surviving passengers he had spoken to. Zaev later refused to comment because he was part of the investigation.

According to experts, even the version of poor infrastructure should not be excluded.

The situation of the road is not as much about the location of the signposts and the lack of adequate light signs”, the Bulgarian medium writes.

However, citizens who cross the street often explain that the part where the accident occurred is dangerous.

According to State Agency for Road Safety data, data in response to Dnevnik, 10 minor accidents, without victims or injuries, have occurred in the last three years in this section, and the section has not been defined as problematic.

Otherwise, in an accident on a road near the city of Bulgaria, Pernik, 45 people, including the company's bus driver “Besa Trans”, have lost their lives. The bus from Northern Macedonia, which has been travelling towards Skopje, is involved in flames and has been turned around, the Bulgarian Ministry of Internal Affairs has announced. Among the dead were 12 children. Bus has been returning to Skopje from an Istanbul trip
