Interior Minister Ivan Demerdzhiev announced that  nearly 11,000 Ukrainian refugees who are currently in Bulgaria will remain in the same conditions in the places where they are accommodated for another 4 months.
Those yet to arrive will first have to stay up to 30 days in the buffer centre in Elhovo, after which they will be distributed to state bases. In Demerdzhiev's words, migrant pressure at the border has dropped from 1,600 people a day at peak times to 600 people crossing illegally.
