Bulgaria should negotiate with Turkey on limiting migrant pressure at the border, mayors of municipalities and villages located near the Bulgaria-Turkey border said. "The migrant pressure is enormous, especially in the forest areas in the evening hours," Rayko Georgiev, mayor of the village of Bogdanovo, told the BNR’s correspondent in Burgas Daniela Kostadinova.
