Death Verdicts Cast Shadow over Bulgarian Government

According to Bulgarian political observers, the outcome of the trial saga calls for taking on responsibility by those to blame for the five years spent in Libyan jails.

Some pointed out that Bulgarian diplomacy had missed the fact that political leaders like Muammar Qaddafi did not fit into standard diplomatic approaches.
