80,000 persons have attempted to cross the Bulgaria-Turkiye border illegally in the first six months of 2023, Minister of Interior Kalin Stoyanov said for BTA. "This represents an increase of 62% as compared to the same period of 2022. This indicates that the migration pressure is extremely heavy", Minister Stoyanov noted.
