The caretaker cabinet of Dimitar Glavchev has published a report on its work. It is pointed out that the cabinet has worked purposefully to finalize the process of full Schengen membership and Bulgaria has met this goal.

Thanks to the government’s efforts, the migrant pressure on the border has decreased by 70%. In October, the prime minister initiated an inspection of the fence on the Bulgarian-Turkish border, from which it became clear that compromised sections are not allowed. During the year, border police prevented more than 44,000 attempts by migrants to enter the country illegally.

In foreign policy, thanks to the timely reaction of the government, Bulgaria was one of the first countries to successfully evacuate all Bulgarian citizens and their families wishing to leave Lebanon. Efforts to support Ukraine also continue.
