Bulgaria could become the largest refugee camp in the world if the country signs the EU Migration Pact, believes the leader of the nationalist Vazrazhdane party Kostadin Kostadinov. "With it, we will be obliged to accept refugees who enter mainly from Turkey and seek to reach Austria and Germany, which are practically the affected countries. If Bulgaria enters the Schengen area, they will be able to register here as the first country from this space". This was explained to journalists by the leader of Vazrazhdane Kostadin Kostadinov, quoted by BNR Varna.


"There are no new conditions related to the number of migrants from Syria and Afghanistan that Bulgaria will register as a Schengen member state. Our country will continue, as before, to apply the Dublin Regulation, signed more than 10 years ago," the Council of Ministers wrote on their Facebook page. 

In an interview with BNR today, Interior Minister Kalin Stoyanov stated that Bulgaria does not accept additional conditions related to refugees from Syria and Afghanistan and that Bulgaria cannot accept people for whom it is not responsible. "There is absolutely no room for concern. Everything is within the usual reception for the last few years," he added.
