Thanks, Ivana !! I just found it in "international.ibox", too:

Quote: "Latest news:

After a deliberation the District court of Burgas rejected the claim of Valentin Petrov, brother of the deceased Peter Petrov for 5,000 BGN (2,500 EUR) damages for defeating mild physical injury in the car accident.

The Court also refused the claim of the defenders of Manuela Gorsova for damages on the amount of 2 million BGN (1 million EUR).

The demand of Peter Petrov's parents for damages of 500,000 BGN (250,000 EUR) were recognized by Burgas' court.

Next session of the trial is set for January 30, at 9.00h."

"2.5 million euro kravnina want Staviski
by Nikolai Bozhkov

In the huge media interest in the Burgas District Court began proceedings against Maxim Staviski.
It is recalled, he was charged with driving after alcohol 1, 29 changes and causing a crash death of one person and severe injury of another.

The accused appeared in person the hearing represented by lawyers and Maple Notev Rosen Kozhuharov.
Together with Maxim in the courtroom and was Albena Denkova.

The first hearing last less than 2 o'clock, the court launched the case and postponed to Jan. 30.

As a private prosecutor and civil plaintiff of the hearing appeared Valentin Petrov - brother died in the crash Petar Petrov.
Petrov claim compensation from Maxim Staviski amounting to U.S. $ 5 thousand.

On the other hand lawyer Manuela Gorsova - severely injured in the crash girl claim compensation on behalf of its trustees amounting to U.S. $ 2 million.

Furthermore Maxim Staviski must pay damages 250 thousand euro a mother and father died in the crash.

The court rejected the request 2 mln.leva compensation
Since pleading defenders on Maxim Notev Kozhuharov and it became clear that they find the claim of unjust regarding the lawyer representing Manuela Gorsova until until it is proven that it actually is in a permanent incapacity.

After meeting with the Bourgas Regional Court President Plamen Sinkov rejected the request brother died of Petar Petrov to be constituted as a private prosecutor in the case against Maxim Staviski.

The court justified its decision that Valentin Petrov suffered a mild injury due to his request - compensation of 5 thousands are not justified.

The court did not allow also claim the protection of Manuela Gorsova to be assigned a regular proxy, as in the last consequences of the disaster suffered is in physical incapacity, but not in legal because adult (18 years).


The court did not approve the request of the state representative charged with appointing a special plenipotentiary representative of Manuela Gorsova.

Albena:
No amount to replace Life
Was not allowed and the application of the defender representing Manuela Gorsova for compensation amounting to U.S. $ 2 million.

However the court allow the request of parents killed Petar Petrov - Denka Petrova and Georgi Petrov - be accusers in a civil action in the case, and requested their compensation in the amount of 500 thousand euro.

Due to the above reasons the court finds that they are not a reason to move the case, therefore postpone today's hearing.

Maxim:
It is difficult human life to walk with downcast Chapter
The decision of the Burgas District Court is subject to review by the Bourgas Court of Appeals in 7 days.
The court set a date for next meeting on January 30, 2008 by 9 o'clock.


Let me give the second instance and then there will be clarity of a trial. It said after the close of the hearing the prosecutor in the case Svetlozar Kostov.

He noted that it was not surprised to somewhere that not appointed his request to appoint a special representative of Manuela, because the law does not settle its case.

Case, which is not legally regulated, is that during the accident the girl was minor and no longer is and can not be represented by their parents, while Manuela not itself authorize a representative."

Pleeeease, can someone translate what Max and Albie are saying???!!! Thanks in advance!

Petra, swetis, joiva, Ivana, thank you for the news.
Now I hope that some kind bulgarian can translate for us what Maxim and Albena said..

Girls, thank you so much for all this information! Let's hope and pray!

Somehow I´m completely shocked about what has happened today in court! Poor Max!!!

I don´t understand the parents of Manuela... Before the trial they always said they don´t want Max´s money , and now they handed in a civil claim about 2.000.000 Leva!!! That does not fit!!! 2 Million Leva in Bulgaria! That´s worth much more than it would be 1 Million Euro in e.g. Germany! Good for Max that this was rejected!

Please don´t understand me wrong! I mean I´m glad Manuela is out of coma now (Besides: Is she really??? In one of the Bulgarian articles from today I "translated" for myself I think they write that she is still (or again?) in coma??? (I don´t want to spread rumours, and I´m not sure I understood this right!)), I really hope it will be possible for her to recover completely, and I understand that they need money for her recovery, but 2 Million Leva, that would really be too much!!! It sounds to me as if her parents are only interested in Max´s money and want to get as much as possible! How can they do so !!! Have they forgotten what Max have done for them , all the payments for medicine, doctors and apparatus !! IMO, this should count, too!

Max, I really wish I could help you somehow !!!

About Manuela - I don't know either whether she's still in coma or not. The doctors said couple of weeks ago that she's no more in coma, but now ... I'm confused...
Now we have to wait 30 of january

Thanks, Vania ! So, let´s pray!!!!!

About Manuela!

Quote 1: " He (=Manuelas father) denied the claims that his child came from coma and stressed that his daughters state is unchanged after the tragic accident". ---->
Quote 2: "Gorsov (=her father) told that he has not received financial help from Maxim Staviski or from Albena Denkova." ---> How can they say so? Maxim helped a lot!!!

Edit:Article see post below!

And that´s what Maxim says!!!!!!

Quote from the translation: " I pray that the trial ends more quickly up. That is a torture as for me, so for the close as well that have lost..."

Maxiiiiiiiiii!!!!!! Hold on!!!!!!! We are with you!!!!!!!


From "7sport.net":

"ДЕЛО
Максим Стависки: Дано всичко свърши по-бързо

Максим Стависки пристигна в Бургаския окръжен съд вчера, съпровождан от двамата си адвокати Явор Нотев и Росен Кожухаров и партньорката си Албена Денкова. Той говори с журналистите както преди да влезе в съдебната зала, така и след като излезе от нея.


Албена Денкова (на заден план) също дойде в съда за кураж на своя партньор на леда и в живота Максим Стависки

- Честно да ви призная, трудно разбирам адвокатския език и терминология, но се доверявам на съда. Не мога да коментирам нищо, тъй като делото все още не е започнало. Постоянно следя за възстановяването на Мануела и желая това да стане възможно най-бързо. Готов съм да окажа съдействие по всякакъв начин. Дори предложих закупуването на апаратура и медикаменти, но от ВМА ми обясниха, че разполагат с най-модерната техника за такива случаи и лекарства, а и нямат подобна практика.
Многократно изразих съжалението си за случая през лятото на миналата година. Изказах публично съболезнования на всички засегнати от трагедията. Разбирам и защо Валентин не иска да ги приеме. Като влязох в съдебната зала, имах чувството, че се връщам в момента на катастрофата на 5 август. Всичко преживях отново.
Моля се процесът да приключи по-бързо. Това е мъчение както за мен, така и за близките на пострадалите. Но не е в моя власт да ускоря нещата. Всичко е в ръцете на съда.
На въпрос дали се признава за виновен, Максим Стависки отговори: "Като дойдете на 30 януари, ще разберете." "

"Maxim Staviski: I hope everything done more quickly

Maxim Staviski arrived in Burgas District Court yesterday, accompanied by his two lawyers and Maple Notev Kozhuharov Rosen and his partner Albena Denkova. He spoke with journalists both before they enter the courtroom, and went after it.


Albena Denkova (background) also came to court for the courage of his partner on the ice and in life Maxim Staviski

- Honest to say, hard lawyer understand language and terminology, but I trust the court. I can not comment on anything because the case has not yet begun. Continuously monitor the recovery of Manuela and want this to happen as quickly as possible. I am ready to assist in any way. Even proposed purchase of equipment and medicines, but VMA I explained that they have the most modern equipment and drugs such cases, and no such practice.
Repeatedly Unfortunately for izrazih case in the summer of last year. Publicly expressed condolences to all affected by the tragedy. And understand why Valentine would not accept them. As they entered the courtroom, I feel like going back in time of the crash on August 5. Everything went through again.
Please process to be completed more quickly. This is torture for me, and relatives of victims. But not in my power to hasten things. Everything is in the hands of the court.
Asked whether recognizes guilty, Maxim Staviski replied: "Having come to the Jan. 30, will understand." "

And that´s what Albena said!!!! (Same link as for what Max said!)

"Албена Денкова: Няма сума, която да замени живота

На въпроса дали предявените суми за обезщетение не са прекалено високи, Албена отговори:
- Всеки родител преценява сам, но няма сума, която може да замени човешкия живот. Тук съм, за да подкрепям Максим. Разбираемо е, че всичко за нас двамата се промени след трагедията. Убедена съм, че е още по-трудно и за потърпевшите семейства. Максим постоянно се допитва за състоянието на Мануела. Все ни питат защо не сме потърсили семейството на загиналия Петър веднага след инцидента. За мен едно обаждане би се изтълкувало според нас като нахалство или издевателство. На специална пресконференция се извинихме публично на тези хора, сега ще го направим и очи в очи."

Edit:
Translation by google:
""Albena Denkova: No amount to replace life

When asked whether the face amount of compensation are not too high, Albena answer:
- Every parent consider himself, but no amount can replace human life. I am here to enlist Maxim. Understandable is that all of us changed after the tragedy. I am convinced that it is more difficult for victims families. Maxim constant consultation on the state of Manuela. After asking us why we asked the family of Peter died immediately after the incident. To me a call would iztalkuvalo as our nerve or izdevatelstvo. At a special press conference to publicly izvinihme those people now would make it face to face. ""

Here is part of the interview from Nova TV. The Max's part. I hope some one else can continue or I may try later if I don't feel too tired. I am very jet lagged and still have to make a huge effort to appear normal at work. It lasts for a few days in my case.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first question is cut a bit, but the meaning is whether Max considers the requested punishment to be adequate.

M. See, I carry my punishment since the moment of the accident and will carry it for my whole life. This depends on the person. If the person doesn’t have conscience, no jail and no punishment can correct his conscience and there will be no real punishment (my understanding is that the punishment will do no good a person with no conscience). For me the punishment has already started. Whatever the court is going to decide is less important.

Q. I just saw that people on the street that were stopping you and Albena, asking for autographs and congratulating you. You said you are ashamed to look people in the eye. Are ashamed now?

M. There are greeting us as world champions. I can not be ashamed from this. I can only be proud of it. And about the thing that happened, the accident, the boy who died, the girl that is in comma, I am very ashamed of this and can not look people in the eye because of this.

Q. Are going to continue your sports career. Do you and Albena have any plans?

M. I think we have to wait to see how things will play out in court and then talk about the future career. I mean not only now, I mean how it depends on how things will play out with Manuela. It depends on many things.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I admire Max for staying cool in this situation or so he looks to me. Probably only Max knows what effort he has to make in order to give an interview.

part two
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. Albena, what is your comment? Why relatives want such a big amount for compensation?

A. I think that Max said it very well (my hot_nerd comment, I didn’t hear Max commenting on the compensation). It is their right to decide how much, it is a very cynical word, how much a human life and hurting a family member cost. To me a human life can not be measured with money. I can not comment this. In my opinion the court has to decide according to the law in Bulgaria. I don’t plan on interfering. I don’t thing I am competent to comment this.

Q. You gave autographs to people today. Can you look people in the eye and are going to continue your sports career?

A. About looking people in the eye I agree with Maxim, because we had a problem in the beginning. Our life and the life of other people involved in the accident really turned upside down. Things changed a lot, but when I started going out, communicating with people, working I saw that the attitude of most of them was not changed. People appreciate our achievements in sport, the top that we have reached. On the other hand, some people show understanding and others are less understanding, about the life situation we have to go through. But unfortunately this is life. Everybody has difficulties, ups and downs, moments when he has to fight, moments when life is unfair. We have been through many difficulties. I think this is the biggest one. I hope we are going to live through it. I am with Maxim, he is with me. Our families and friends support us. I think that this is most important.

Q. In case he pleads guilty, are you ready for Maxim getting a lighter punishment? I am asking about your opinion not about law terminology.

A. Your are using law language that I don’t always understand very well. This is why we have attorneys, who are experts and we fully trust them. I think they are going to give us the best advice, considering the Bulgarian law, because as Maxim said, he is ready to get any punishment as long as it is according to the law and the judge’s decision.

Reporter: Relatives of the victims declined any comments if they are going to appeal today’s court decision. Next court session is scheduled for Jan. 30 and then it will be clear if the trial will begin.



At the end the anchor just thanked everybody.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Q&A may not seem quite adequate, but this is what it is. It was probably difficult for everybody. I am stunned about the 2 million. I just don't know how to comment.

Thank for the translation, a Hot Nerdand Petra!
I hope Albena and Max really will go throu this hell...

Pleeeease, can someone translate what Max and Albie are saying???!!! Thanks in advance!

a_Hot_Nerd, you are great!!!!! Many many thanks !!!!!!

I found this really bad article, it´s from yesterday. The victims and their relatives really seem to be interested only in Max´s money!
Everything is so ridiculous here in this article. It´s hopeless!! Media won´t learn anything!!!

http://slava.bg/news/1018.html (in Bulgarian)

The translation of the headline says everything: "They search the real estates and the money of Maxim".
Short summary from what the article says:
- They (= the relatives of the victims!) suspect that Max has transferred all his money to Albena ...
- "We do not know where the money of Staviski is, nor his suite..." ...
- "In today´s meeting of deed the prosecution cannot discover that Staviski had passed the social insurances for 2007." ...
- They write in this article that Max has accounts in 22(!!!) banks...

I´m in loss of words for this article... Feel like laughing and crying at the same time...

Besides: I have a question here, that has nothing to do with the article above:
When I read the articles from yesterday´s trial, I have the impression that something is going wrong in this trial! The civil claim from Petar Petrovs parents about 500.000 Leva was accepted. What does this mean? If it means Max has been sentenced yesterday to pay the 500.000 Leva, then this IMO would not be correct, because he was not sentenced to be guilty or not guilty before. I think first you have to be sentenced to be guilty, and then you can be sentenced to pay, but not the other way round... Or does it mean that the claim was only handed to court and they will decide later??? Then it would be correct...
Does someone know, and please be so kind to answer??? Thanks in advance !!!

"They write in this article that Max has accounts in 22(!!!) banks..."
They have confused him with Bill Gates!!

Unfortunately Maxim has not much money...
He and Albena have begun to gain after Calgary...PEOPLE REMEMBER!!!

The skaters are not like a footballers!!!

Petra, I think.." the claim was only handed to court and they will decide later...." But it's only my personal opinion...

Oh, thank you to A_Hot_Nerd for the translations!!!!

Then, please what is the social insurance?
