Some of its clauses do not benefit Bulgaria because the Dublin agreement will continue to be effective,” Iliana Iotova said, and added that this means we are destined to be a country that will have to take care of the migrants who will set foot on EU territory for the first time as they cross the border of Bulgaria.
