The family of the young woman, who was left comatose after a heavy crash triggered by Bulgarian ice-dancing champion Maxim Staviiski, have been given the opportunity to live in a municipality-owned flat in the capital Sofia for one year.
This was announced by the victim's father Krasimir Gorsov, who spoke to journalists after the hearing of the case against him. Gorsov is charged with misusing a total of BGN 133,000 from the donation account that was opened following the crash.
The 19-year-old Manuela Gorsova will be moved to Sofia to continue her treatment under the monitoring of medics from the Military Medical Academy. Israeli experts are expected to come to Bulgaria in January to check her condition and decide whether she needs further treatment in Israel.
"Manuela's condition is improving. She is more communicative and tries to speak but still this is a very difficult process," her father said.
Bulgarian ice-dancing champion Maxim Staviiski pleaded guilty to drunken driving and received a suspended sentence at the beginning of January last year for a car crash that killed a man and left a woman comatose.
He collided head-on with a car carrying four people in August 2007 on a bridge over the Ropotamo River near Burgas.
