"Less road traffic fatalities (450) were registered in 1961 only, Minister Terziyski noted". However, there are now 15 million cars more on the Bulgarian roads, commented Bulgaria’s Primier Boyko Borissov, who also participated at the inspection, BTA reported.
According to the non-governmental Road Safety Institute, this is due to the fact that people travel less during the pandemic.
