Interpreters are helping the investigation in order to clarify how the migrants entered Bulgarian territory.

Border police also detained 20 other Afghans near Belogradchik near the Bulgarian-Serbian border. They were traveling in a minibus driven by a 20-year-old driver from Sofia, the Border Police said. 18 young men and a woman with a 4-month-old baby were crammed inside. A 61-year-old trafficker of people from Vidin, who was supposed to take them across the border, was also detained.
