At a meeting in Budapest, with Bulgarian Foreign Minister Daniel Mitov, his Hungarian counterpart Peter Szijjártó has said that Bulgaria successfully protects the EU outer border, has even made more efforts in this regard than some Schengen member countries and is worth of accession to Schengen.

According to the Bulgarian foreign minister the quotas for reception of migrants in EU are no solution and that the point is to stop the flow of migrants itself.
