Everything is being made to provide those injured in Sunday's bus crash on Trakia Motorway with as adequate as possible medical help, Serbian Ambassador to Bulgaria Zeljko Jovic said on Monday morning, as quoted by Tanjug. Jovic told the Belgrade-based news agency that Serbian Health Minister Zlatibor Loncar together with Serbian Embassy representatives visited the injured on Monday morning and are working on getting back home those not injured in the accident, which will happen after the necessary procedures are finalized and information is given to the competent Bulgarian institutions.

The Ambassador added that the reason for the crash is still unclear and the competent bodies in Bulgaria are working on determining all circumstances of the accident. What matters most is the children being well and everything passing without serious consequences, he noted.

Seventeen Serbian children were taken to the university hospital in the southern Bulgarian town of Stara Zagora Sunday evening after their bus had an accident on Trakia Motorway. On Monday morning, caretaker Health Minister Assen Medjidiev told a news briefing  together with his Serbian counterpart that twelve children and two adults remain in hospital, and that two children with more serious injuries will be moved to Sofia’s Pirogov Emergency Hospital. The children whose condition allows it, will be taken to the border with Serbia by ambulances after which Serbia will take care of them.
