The question whether the EU will finance the construction of a new, stronger fence along the Bulgarian-Turkish border remains open. In the words of Interior Minister Ivan Demerdzhiev, the EC has expressed very clear support and even intends to do a pilot project in Bulgaria on the Bulgarian-Turkish border. 

Demerdzhiev also pointed out that at a conference in Sofia on border protection, Frontex, as an organisation dealing with this issue, has clearly stated that the fences along the border are a big help from a professional point of view. 
Demerdzhiev added that the country is counting on being able to convince the European Commission that fencing facilities such as those used at the borders of a number of other countries should be applied and that their construction should be funded urgently.
