Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski has sent a letter of condolences to his Bulgarian counterpart Boyko Borisov following the terrorist attack in Burgas, which left seven people dead - five Israelis, one Bulgarian and the suicide bomber - and more than 30 injured people.

"On the occasion of this tragic event in which the lives of innocent people were lost, I offer deepest condolences to you and the families of the victims on my personal behalf and on behalf of the government and the citizens of Macedonia. We strongly condemn this terror attack and terrorism in general as global evil".
