Interior Ministry issues instructions on how to protect lorries from entry by migrants

At a briefing in Sofia, Interior Ministry and border police officials presented a flyer of instructions on how to safeguard lorries from entry by illegal migrants.

The initiative comes as a result of the heightened risk of terror attacks in all EU countries. Experts say that in most cases when illegal migrants have been found inside lorries, they were there without the driver’s knowledge. Interior Ministry officials say they are expecting an increase in the number of illegal migrants attempting to cross the Bulgarian border inside lorries in winter.
