Serbia’s authorities announced that in the recent months the flow of illegal migrants from Bulgaria and Macedonia on Serbian territory has decreased sharply after that country deployed military and police staff to guard the state borders. A maximum of 10 illegal migrants attempt to cross the Serbian border on a daily basis. The number of migrant smugglers has dwindled as well. In the past 11 months 142 migrant smugglers were detained-most of them Serbian nationals. Recently, Bulgarian’s Ministry of Interior announced that migration pressure on Bulgaria has decreased to record-low levels. Only 8 illegal migrants were detained in Bulgaria in the past 7 days. A total of 576 illegal migrants were detained in that country since the beginning of 2017. Between January and May this year a total of 1,071 foreign nationals were taken out of that country.
