„The early warning system must be used adequately. Right now what we have is more of a platform. It can be filled with content when we have clearly defined functions what needs to be done. That is, under what scenario, what message to play. The personnel who have to respond and gather in the Crisis Center are not trained.
This was stated to NOVA by the former Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Internal Affairs and head of DANS Tsvetlin Yovchev.
In his words, the fact that time has passed since the incident with the explosions in warehouses in Elin Pelin does not mean that the investigation will be more difficult.
„This is not a crime or contract killing or assassination, traces will remain. Experts shared that at first glance there are things that do not meet the requirements. This allowed the initial blast to carry over to subsequent buildings. It is said that there is also a gas pipeline nearby, which is not right, he explained.

According to him, the protection system in such premises must be adapted to all possible scenarios for a possible threat.
„Usually in such sites, which are critical infrastructures, there is a deficiency in the development of prevention plans”, Tsvetlin Yovchev also said.
About the decision of the SC:
„For me, it is unacceptable minutes after a decision comes out that it is harshly criticized. This destroys statehood”, the former deputy prime minister also believes.
