Bulgaria’s Minister of Interior Valentin Radev met in Sofia with the Hessian Minister of Interior and Sports Peter Beuth and with Saxony’s Minister of Interior Markus Ulbig. Ministers Radev, Beuth and Ulbig assessed highly the bilateral relations between Bulgaria and Germany and the practically-orientated police cooperation between the two countries. Minister Valentin Radev presented measures aimed at strengthening control and security along the Bulgarian borders within the context of the contemporary challenges, as well as Bulgaria’s efforts to fight terrorism and prevent the radicalization of people. Bulgaria’s Interior Minister voiced expectations that the EU would reach common agreement for redistribution of all asylum seekers based on the solidarity principle. Thus, the frontline countries would not be always responsible for those people.
