Regarding the information, disclosed by Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev regarding the two Russian spies, Justice Minister Nadezhda Yordanova stated that the prosecutor’s office only opens its eyes to see them and their activities on our territory when there is talk of shutting down the Specialized Prosecutor’s Office, or when there is criticism of the work of the prosecutor general himself.

In an interview with bTV, Minister Yordanova stated that Bulgaria guarantees free legal assistance and temporary protection to all refugees from Ukraine. The Temporary Protection Directive has been activated as of yesterday which means that people will be able to stay on the territory of the EU for a period of one year and avail themselves of all refugee rights. According to Minister Yordanova, this period may be extended by six months.
