Migration processes and refugee pressure were at the centre of the meeting on Sunday (18 December) between Interior Minister Ivan Demerdzhiev and his Turkish counterpart Suleyman Soylu, Demerdzhiev told journalists.

"We have agreed with the Turkish authorities that they should be even more actively involved in preventing large groups of migrants from gathering at the border," the minister said.
