“The refugee crisis is a problem jeopardizing the national security of Bulgaria directly. We shall commit ourselves to protecting our state borders most earnestly,” said Defence Minister Nikolay Nenchev after a meeting with military personnel in charge of border security. He added that the information coming in from Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Iran and Libya was not optimistic.

“If the need arises close to 2,000 military staff, ready to perform their border security duties can be deployed along the border within hours,” Minister Nenchev said further.
