“The Bulgarian medics can now see the light at the end of the tunnel” said PACE President René van der Linden following the transfer of the Bulgarian medics to their home country. He praised diplomatic efforts taken by his European colleagues. “While being relieved by this transfer and the fact that the medics' trauma is now over, I am still deeply concerned by the situation in Libya which led to a humanitarian tragedy and the deprival of the liberty of the innocent medics for 8 years. The Libyan authorities must now tackle as a matter of urgency the problem of their derelict health system” he said.
