“The number of refugees entering Bulgarian territory is down by almost 30 percent compared to the same period of last year,” said Interior Minister Rumyana Bachvarova in a televised interview. 
In her words this is due to several factors - the global processes which have been re-channeling migration and the fact that many of the migrants are detained on the territory of Turkey, as well as the efforts this country has been making to put up a fence along the border. Rumyana Bachvarova added one more factor – that most of the migrants detained are registered. Minister Bachvarova reiterated that there was no direct threat of a terrorist attack in Bulgaria.
