The release of the Bulgarian sailors from the "Galaxy Leader" is the result of exceptional efforts over a year by all institutions and shows that when Bulgarian citizens get into trouble somewhere in the world, the Bulgarian state is able to mobilize and do everything possible to return home.
This was said by MEP Elena Yoncheva to journalists at the Sofia airport, where the Bulgarian sailors from the crew of the ship captured in November 2023 arrived.
A delegation led by the Minister of Foreign Affairs Georg Georgiev is also traveling with them.
