Border checks on the Bulgarian-Romanian border to be lifted at midnight

EU Commissioner for Home Affairs and Migration Magnus Brunner, together with Bulgarian Interior Minister Daniel Mitov and Greek Deputy Minister for Migration and Asylum Sevi Vouloudaki, visited the Kulata-Promachonas border crossing between Bulgaria and Greece. Together they crossed the border, marking the first six months without border controls.

"It turns out that after the opening of the borders, the number of people caught has increased - both for drug trafficking and illegal migrants. This control will continue both on the Bulgarian-Greek border and in the interior of the country," Mitov told journalists, quoted by BTA. 


European Commissioner Brunner announced that border checks on the border between Bulgaria and Romania will be suspended at midnight.
