The refugees can stay there until the end of the administrative proceedings aimed at providing protection to the foreign nationals. Foreign nationals who receive international protection have to reside at a previously stated address. They are obliged to visit the municipality of their future residence and get an entry in the population register, Minister Bachvarova added.
