"Europe cannot take all young Africans who see no prospects for themselves at home,” said Bulgarian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ekaterina Zaharieva at the Plovdiv Economic Forum.

Zaharieva pointed out that over the next decade Africa’s population would double and migration pressure on Europe would not subside after peace is restored to Syria.

Europe must have a common migration policy and a common policy on asylum, and must also work on prevention with regard to Africa and the Middle East,” the foreign minister said.
