Seven times less migrants have been detained in 2017 in their attempt to cross illegally the Bulgaria-Turkey border as compared to 2016, Bulgaria’s Minister of Interior Valentin Radev announced. According to Minister Radev, this was mainly due to the border fence constructed at the Bulgaria-Turkey border.

Some migrants also attempted to enter Bulgaria through the Black Sea, but Bulgaria is not their destination, Minister Radev commented.
