The large-scale inspection, carried out by the competent police structures of the National Police Directorate and the regional directorates of the Interior Ministry, will continue next week to get the full picture - where, what and how many are the risky road sections in Bulgaria, and to what extent the dangerous sections identified so far are secured and comply with the instructions issued by the Interior Ministry, the ministry said in a press release on Sunday.

The aim of the measures taken is to seriously improve road safety, as also stated in the government's priority programme, the Ministry said.

Meanwhile, citizens protested in downtown Varna against the road death toll. They called for effective penalties for drivers who cause deaths on the roads, stronger traffic police oversight, and new leadership at the Road Infrastructure Agency.

Yesterday, a silent procession was held in Blagoevgrad in memory of 12-year-old Siyana, who died in a serious accident on the road near the village of Telish.


On Monday, protests will be held in front of the Sofia Court House and the National Assembly.


On April 12, a protest march will be held in the village of Telish, near where the fatal accident took place, preceded by a motorcade.
