The names of people charged with the Burgas Airport terrorist bombing will be announced within days, Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev said after meeting his Israeli counterpart, Reuven Rivlin. In July 2012 terrorists detonated a bomb next to a bus with Israeli tourists. Five Israeli citizens were killed along with Bulgarian bus driver Mustafa Kyosov. "It is already known who the organizers and perpetrators of the attack were," President Plevneliev said. During the meeting between the two heads of state, Reuven Rivlin said that partnership between the two countries in a number of areas could further develop. According to him, energy was a sphere of mutual interest. ​​Rivlin also said that opportunities for gas deliveries from Israel to Bulgaria would be discussed during future meetings.
