There are prerequisites for worsening of the avalanche-risk situation, so it is not recommended to walk in the mountains in the coming weekend, Tervel Totev from the Mountain Rescue Service warned in an interview for the Bulgarian National Television.

Yesterday avalanches fell in the mountains Rila, Pirin and Vitosha, fortunately - without casualties.
