One of the survivors of the tragic bus accident on the Struma highway, Lulzim Sulejmani, is a Serbian citizen from Presevo. From the Pirogov Emergency Hospital in Sofia, he told Albanian Klan TV that he was fortunate to be awake at the time of the incident. The bus tires burst and a fire started with a lot of smoke. Sulejmani managed to break the rear window and save his fiancée Medina and five other passengers from the flames.

Željko Jović, Ambassador of the Republic of Serbia to Bulgaria visited Sulejmani at the hospital. "Despite his injuries, he helped in evacuation of passengers," the official Twitter page of the Serbian embassy in Bulgaria reported.
