Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Serbia Ivan Mrkic will attend on 6 April an event commemorating the traffic accident which occurred ten years ago near the border between Serbia and Montenegro, when 12 Bulgarian students were killed.

Wreaths will be laid at the "12 Roses" Monument in Bijelo Polje, which, according to the plan, will be followed by the laying of wreaths at a commemorative meeting in Gostun.

The solemn event will also be attended by Bulgarian Foreign Minister Kristian Vigenin, at whose initiative the event is being organized, and Montenegrin Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and European Integration, Igor Luksic.

On the occasion, the railway accident which occurred on 26 January 2006, in the vicinity of Bioce, near Podgorica, when forty-three people were killed, will also be commemorated.

Ten years ago, a bus carrying 48 students and their teachers from the Bulgarian town of Svishtov, who were coming back from their school trip to Dubrovnik, crashed into the Lim River. The accident occurred near Gostun, on the Prijepolje-Bijelo Polje road.

Serbian, Montenegrin and Bulgarian Foreign Ministers will have separate talks with the mayors of Bijelo Polje and Prijepolje municipalities, and a joint press statement is planned to take place in Prijepolje.

The delegations headed by the three Ministers will afterwards visit the Monastery of Mileseva.

Bulgarian Minister Vigenin will then give a working lunch in honour of Minister Mrkic and Minister Luksic.
