In Bulgaria, they introduced an emergency regime in areas along the land border with Turkey, Euronews reports.
As the local authorities explained, such a step is caused by an unprecedentedly difficult situation with illegal migrants, which in the mass order penetrate Bulgarian territory. A fence with barbed wire was erected along the 200-kilometer line, but this structure does not stop illegal immigrants.
The patrolling of the border and the control of the integrity of the fence are difficult to a poor road infrastructure. The emergency is aimed primarily to simplify the repair of roads and fences due to a sharp reduction in bureaucratic procedures.
According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Bulgaria, for the incomplete 9 months of this year, 104 thousand people tried to cross the border – 3.5 times more than the whole last year.
