The two Bulgarian journalists, who were arrested after Israeli commandos stormed a convoy of ships carrying aid to the Gaza Strip, have met with Bulgarian diplomats in Tel Aviv, the Foreign Ministry informs.
Svetoslav Ivanov, a reporter, and Valentin Vassilev, a cameraman, who work for the country's biggest private national TV channel bTV, confirmed they are unhurt and in good health. There relatives have been notified about their state.
The Foreign Ministry further reiterates Vassilev and Ivanov will be put on a flight to Europe Tuesday.
Earlier in the day, Bulgaria's president, Georgi Parvanov, praised the reaction of the Ministry as “swift, proactive and precise,” and voiced hope the journalists will return safe and sound to Bulgaria as soon as possible. He also stated the strong international reaction in Europe and of the UN is fully justified.
