Their traffic is directed mainly to richer countries in Europe such as Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria, Great Britain, France and Switzerland.
Traffickers are using increasingly "softer" methods of involvement - fraud and deception, as more and more often they use social networks, said Bulgarian Interior Minister Boyko Rashkov, BNR reported.
