The bodies of two of the 11 crewmembers aboard the Bulgarian cargo ship Vanessa, which sank in the Azov Sea about 10 days ago, will be transported to port Burgas late on Tuesday.
Bulgaria will carry out secondary autopsies, as part of the investigation over the tragic incident.
Eight sailors as sill missing, as Ukrainian rescuers could only recover the bodies of Petko Momchev and Georgi Zhelev, while the only survivor so far is Nikolay Dimitrov.
On Monday, Ukraine decided to call off the search for survivors, saying that all data available show there was no chance for any of the missing seamen to have stayed alive.
The reasons for the shipwreck will be under investigation that will last for at least three months.
