Bulgaria's Vice President Iliana Iotova has opened the third training course organized by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees in Bulgaria and the Dimitry Panitza Bulgarian School of Politics.
The Vice President described the new Pact on Migration and Asylum, proposed by the European Commission, as weak and unclear, with cumbersome and complex mechanisms, with a lot of conditionality, the press office of the head of state announced. 
Iotova believes the document will not lead to a consensus among member states on common policies against the background of the current division on these issues. Iotova described as unacceptable the proposal for EU countries to "buy out" their obligation with financial means if they did not want to accept migrants.
