Bulgaria has no complicity in the preparation of the Crimean bridge explosion, caretaker Prime Minister Galab Donev said before the national meeting of the Ministry of the Interior.

"Bulgaria is at a crossroads and many trucks pass through it. Bulgaria was not said to be involved in the explosion, but was mentioned as a point on the route of the suspected truck," Donev added. He called on the media to treat the situation responsibly because overexposure was dangerous to national security. As an example, he pointed to the fact that there was no "Bulgarian trace" in the case and the phrase was only present in articles in media.
