Traffic is normal at all Bulgarian border crossings

Traffic is reported to be normal at all border crossings and checkpoints with Türkiye, Greece, Romania, Serbia and North Macedonia, according to the General Directorate of Border Police. Ferry services operating at the Oryahovo–Bechet and Svishtov–Zimnicea crossings remain suspended due to the low water level of the Danube.

One person was killed and 29 injured in 17 road accidents over the past 24 hours, the Ministry of Interior reports. In Sofia, two serious and 17 minor traffic accidents occurred, leaving two people injured.

Since the beginning of the year, 5,910 serious road accidents have been recorded, claiming 422 lives and injuring 7,325 people. This is 38 more fatalities than during the same period last year.
