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.
