Greece and Bulgaria will receive the most emergency funds from the European Commission to manage migration flows, the Ministry of Migration in Athens has announced. Greece will receive €42.400 million and Bulgaria €37.300 million in special funds to deal with migration, BNR correspondent Katya Peeva reports from Greece. Part of the funding for the two countries will be used to develop software for data exchange and processing at border crossings, as well as mobile detection equipment. In total, 12 European countries will benefit from this additional funding. This support comes after a strong appeal by Commission President Ursula von der Leyen for funding under the Home Affairs budget.
