The refugee center in the town of Harmanli, Southern Bulgaria, will be expanded thanks to EU funding. The new premises would accommodate 400 people. This way the center will be able to accommodate a total of 3000 refugees. In recent weeks, the number of refugees in Harmanli has risen nearly five times - from 200 in June, to some 1000. Dissatisfied with the expansion of the center, local residents are preparing for a protest on September 4. They will insist on stricter regime in the center and the introduction of a curfew for migrants.
