Bulgaria needs legislative amendments to ensure harsher sanctions for those who have killed people in traffic accidents, the country's Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov has declared.
According to Tsvetanov, changes should be made regarding the opportunity for road killers to reach agreements which prosecutors.
"The agreement should be abolished or applied only in case the victim's family agrees to it," he said.
A mechanism should be created to clarify that those who drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs should be judged according to the Bulgarian Penal Code, Tsvetanov also stated.
In an interview for Nova TV, he noted that tougher sanctions should be imposed on unlicensed drivers.
The Interior Minister cited statistical data, according to which approximately 1000 Bulgarians perish each year as a result of traffic accidents.
