No commemorative ceremony in memory of the victims of the Burgas Airport terrorist bombing will be held this year, because of the coronavirus pandemic. The Jewish community in Burgas hopes that next year the situation will return to normal and they will be able to mark the tenth anniversary of the tragic event.

Their whereabouts are unknown.
