Nearly two thirds of the British clients of the Bankrupt company Thomas Cook have been transported from Bulgaria to their country since Monday, the Ambassador of the United Kingdom to Bulgaria Emma Hopkins said. Nearly 1,600 out of all 2,500 people have been transported home. Since the company is in insolvency, we have informed the Bulgarian authorities about the procedures and they have informed the hotel keepers, so that the debts of the company to the hoteliers will be taken into consideration during the liquidation procedure, Ambassador Hopkins said.
