Switzerland is providing financial assistance worth 21,350,000 Swiss Francs to support Bulgaria's migration policies. "As EU's external border we have the responsibility to prevent the entry of persons who may pose a security threat, and on the other hand, to be able to provide assistance to those in need," said Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Innovation and Growth Tomislav Donchev at the signing of the Framework Agreement for the implementation of the Second Swiss Contribution to Selected EU Member States. The agreement was signed by Swiss State Secretariat for Migration International Affairs Director Hendrick Krauskopf. The funds will be mainly directed towards cultural mediation, as well as protection and better accommodation and living conditions for unaccompanied refugee children.
