The work group sent to Ohrid by Bulgaria's Transport Minister, Aleksandar Tsvetkov, returned late Thursday to Bulgaria.
The experts were in Macedonia to take part in the investigation of the sinking of the boat "Ilinden." 15 Bulgarians drowned during the September 5 incident.
Tsvetkov and Bulgaria's Deputy Chief Prosecutor, Kamen Sitnilski, negotiated with their Macedonian colleagues that they will obtain all information regarding the case.
The Bulgarian investigation has examined and analyzed 10 documents, including Court decisions about ownership of the boat, "Ilinden's" technical certificates and insurance policies.
A Croatian company has been hired to remove the remains of the ship from the waters of the lake. Its specialists and equipment are expected to arrive in OhРіid Friday. They will search the area where the boat sank for the third time in order to make a final decision about the date of the removal.
The Bulgarian investigators are to be notified immediately about the schedule and will take part in the action.
