370 asylum applications for child refugees were submitted in Bulgaria in the period until the end of September, with no more than one third of these children registered at school, said Vice President Iliana Iotova at a conference in Sofia “Youth in Europe - better Europe”. In the words of Vice President Iotova the migrant flow is one of the most severe challenges facing Europe.

Over the past seven years the number of refugees in the world has gone up drastically - from 42 million to almost 66 million, the UN says. The reason given is the declining ability of the world community to avert, get under control and resolve conflicts. A quarter of the displaced persons in the world come from Syria and Iraq.
