We haven’t registered any serious migration pressure at the Bulgarian border, caretaker Minister of Interior Plamen Uzunov said on Tuesday on occasion of the information that the migrant flow has been redirected from the Aegean Sea to Rezovska River at the Bulgaria-Turkey border. According to some media, Turkish smugglers of illegal migrants now prefer to take migrants to Europe through Rezovska River, because of the bad weather conditions in the Aegean. I have been receiving a series of reports and analyses and I can assure you that we haven’t registered serious migration pressure, Minister Uzunov specified. In his words, the authorities took the necessary measures to deal with possible increase of the migrant wave towards Bulgaria this spring.
