The government plane with the freed sailors landed in Sofia, a BGNES reporter said.
The men were greeted very emotionally by their families.
A press conference with the participation of our Foreign Minister Georg Georgiev and the two sailors - Lyubomir Chanev and Danail Veselinov was also held in Sofia.
In the words of Foreign Minister, when Bulgaria acts in an extremely professional way at different levels and services and sends signals that it handles such situations firmly without hesitation, it does well.
The moment is particularly special and emotional, but the most important thing of all - what is foremost - is that our boys are alive and well, back in Bulgaria with their loved ones and families.
This is what Foreign Minister Georg Georgiev said minutes after the government plane with the sailors freed from the Galaxy Leader landed on home soil. On the orders of Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov, the plane flew to Muscat, Oman, to pick up the two Bulgarians. | BGNES
