Illegal migration pressure to Bulgaria has decreased by 70% compared to the first nine months of 2023, announced caretaker Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev.

Since the beginning of the year, less than 50,000 attempts to illegally cross the border have been made, compared to 157,000 for the same period last year. The detainees are twice as many, added the Prime Minister.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of the Interior announced an incident early this morning with a van carrying 27 illegal migrants.

The vehicle was traveling on the Trakia highway, upon entering Sofia the driver refused to stop for a police check and a police chase began. The van later crashed and the driver managed to escape. The arriving policemen found the migrants, who according to initial information are from Afghanistan.
