All public transport vehicles will, from now on, have to have video register recorders and all bus seats must have seat belts - these are some of the steps endorsed at the emergency meeting called by PM Boyko Borissov in connection with the string of road accidents in Lovech region. Transport Minister Ivaylo Moskovski explained:
“We shall obligate, by decree, all public transport vehicles to equip their vehicles with video register recorders in the shortest terms, i.e. cameras which film the perimeter outside the vehicle in real time - that is, everything happening on the road; all public transport vehicles will be obliged to install seat belts on absolutely all seats.”
The registration of chop shops and garages is also being considered. Boyko Borissov met with the heads of all institutions engaged in the investigation of the string of deadly road accidents which took place in the Lovech-Yablanitsa road section. 
11 people lost their lives in the traffic accidents there, 4 are still in hospital in critical condition. Earlier, Chief Commissioner Hristo Terziyski, Director of the National Police General Directorate said that the principal theory being looked into, regarding Friday's major road accident near Mikre village, was the bus entering the oncoming lane, followed by a head-on collision between the bus and the LCV.
