The temporary accommodation centre in Elhovo is being closed. All of the more than 200 refugees from Ukraine who are still in Elhovo out of the 600 initial arrivals, will be transported to state–run facilitates around the country by 6 buses on 2 June.
Tensions ran high in Elhovo on 1 June, with the head of the State Agency for Refugees Mariana Tosheva arriving to monitor the process. Some of the refugees were not happy with the conditions at Elhovo, especially those with small children. Mariana Tosheva explained that lists were being drawn up and the needs of the people, as described in the questionnaire they have filled out, will be taken into consideration.
The people fleeing the war are being relocated to hotels in the resorts of Pamporovo, Borovets and Starozagorski Mineralni Bani. For now, the tent camp in Sarafovo will remain, though no people have been put up there.
80,600 is the number of Ukrainian citizens in Bulgaria. According to data of the Bulgaria for Ukraine portal, 22,800 have been put up at hotels.
