Iva Mihaylova wants to join tomorrow's hearing in her case in Kochani, North Macedonia, by video link from Bulgaria, she told BNT. Her lawyer has filed a request, and the prosecutor's office and the court must decide whether to grant it.

Mihaylova came back to Bulgaria on Monday with her lawyer and is being treated at Pirogov hospital. Skopje put her on an international wanted list on a ruling by the court in Kochani.

The court will hear two expert witnesses tomorrow. Both expert reports say the crash was not her fault: the oncoming car drove more than 50 cm into Mihaylova's lane and hit her car.

She has been in treatment and recovery in Bulgaria for three weeks. If doctors here fail, they will send her to Israel, where surgery is possible. There is no forecast for how long treatment will take.

Mihaylova says the effects of the injury are permanent and affect her every day, and doctors in Bulgaria are trying to bring them under control. She links this to being refused rehabilitation in Kochani for months. Because of her spine, she cannot sit as she used to and must not cross her legs. She was told the marks of the injury will remain, and that even with surgery the numbness in her limbs and other effects cannot be changed.

Mihaylova said police in Kochani checked on her constantly in recent months. "Police all the time outside my home, searches at home, drones. When I go out somewhere, there is always someone following me," she said. She believes those following her were from the police or the security services.

There was no such problem at the start of May. "When I came out as a Bulgarian, that was when all the harassment from their side began," Mihaylova said.

She left Kochani wanting freedom, treatment and to be at home, she explained. Nobody from North Macedonia now looks for her or writes to her, Mihaylova added.

She is a defendant in a car crash case in Kochani. The case became public in May, and the president, the government and the Foreign Ministry responded. MPs from all parliamentary groups are attending the trial in person.
