Bulgaria is shocked by the severe tragedy on Trakia Motorway, where 11 people died and dozens were injured in chain collisions near Yambol. Due to the tragic incident, the Council of Ministers declared tomorrow, November 11, a Day of National Mourning.
The Bulgarian Olympic Committee, the Bulgarian Football Union, and a number of sports clubs joined the condolences. Basketball clubs Balkan (Botevgrad) and PAOK announced a minute of silence in memory of the victims before their European match today.
The memory of the deceased is also expected to be honored at tomorrow's sporting events, including the Champions League volleyball match between Levski Sofia and Mladost (Zagreb).
The VolleyWeek team expresses its sincerest condolences to the families and loved ones of the deceased. We wish strength to all affected by the tragedy and a speedy and full recovery to the injured.
Homage to the memory of the victims!
