In a bid to enhance road safety, Bulgarian authorities have initiated a comprehensive police operation targeting trucks and buses, set to extend throughout the week.

Alongside teams from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, representatives from the Executive Agency "Automotive Administration" and the Executive Agency "Main Labor Inspectorate" will participate in the inspections.
Key focal points of the operation include monitoring drivers for alcohol consumption, adherence to mandated rest periods, prevention of vehicle overloading, and verification of valid typographers.
