They say a 56-year-old Ukrainian citizen, identified only by his initials as I.V., was killed at the site, while a 54-year-old British citizen, also identified only by his initials as I.P, died in a nearby hospital during resuscitation attempts.

The prosecutor's office said it has ordered that video and data from the paragliders' tracker systems be downloaded and autopsies performed on the two bodies.

Krusevo is known as a good location for paragliding.
