Calliphoridae. First looks like Pollenia.

Thank you Stephen.

Could the blue one be a Calliphora? I have some doubts, but I may be wrong.

Could it be Protophormia terraenovae?

Nikita,I don't think this is Protophormia terraenovae. Presutural acrostichals are present and there is a little dusting visible in front of the thorax, so I'd say Protocalliphora azurea. Do you agree? Regards, Niels-Jan
