Libya's death verdicts against the five Bulgarian nurses can trigger off political discords in Bulgaria.
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.
Current and former Bulgarian politicians and diplomats largely commented the death sentences announced in Benghazi on Thursday.
Many blamed the government for the adopted policy of "soft diplomacy" towards the Qaddafi-led Arab state so far as the medics' trial was concerned.
Some pointed out that Bulgarian diplomacy had missed the fact that political leaders like Muammar Qaddafi did not fit into standard diplomatic approaches.
