Kočani court to decide whether Iva Mihaylova will receive treatment in Bulgaria
Bulgarian citizen Iva Mihaylova is awaiting an important court decision that will determine whether she will be able to continue her treatment in Bulgaria. The woman was severely injured in a road accident in North Macedonia, which occurred on the road between the cities of Kočani and Štip.
Since October, Iva Mihaylova has been forced to remain in the city of Kočani, as the country's judicial authorities have not permitted her to leave the area. This restriction severely hinders her access to the specialized medical care she requires following the accident.
The case has drawn the attention of the public and institutions, as the woman's health condition requires more complex care. Her relatives hope that the court will take humanitarian reasons into account and allow her transport to Bulgaria for the necessary treatment.
At the moment, the next hearing in the case is awaited, which should provide clarity on the matter. The Bulgarian consular services in North Macedonia are monitoring the situation and providing the necessary assistance to Iva Mihaylova to ensure her right to adequate medical care is protected.
