The number of unaccompanied child refugees coming to Bulgaria has gone up 7 times in 5 months. According to the chair of the State Agency for Child Protection Ophelia Kuneva this engenders serious tension.
At the end of last year there were 80 children who had reached Bulgaria without their families, at this time, there are 600, Kuneva says:
“At the moment there is some serious tension in real time, because for each child a possible solution has to be sought, right here and right now, following a non-existent procedure.”
Kuneva says that an algorithm of rules, developed to facilitate the work of the institutions with child refugees locally, will be made public next week.
Two centres for unaccompanied children are to open doors by the end of the year; their location and capacity have not been made public as yet.
