From the very beginning of the measure, the government announced that the accommodation in the hotels would continue until the beginning of the summer season. 
By May 31, all those who have received temporary protection and have no other option to stay in the country will be relocated to state or municipal bases around the country at the discretion of the government. 
Relocation is arranged and transport will be provided as planned, with priority given to people with special needs, children and the chronically ill. 
There are currently 101,300 Ukrainian citizens residing in Bulgaria, 68,400 of whom are children. More than 94,000 Ukrainians have temporary protection status.
