Bulgaria will move migrants who clashed with police at an accommodation camp to closed-type facilities and hopes to start extraditing some to their native Afghanistan next month, outgoing Prime Minister Boyko Borisov said on Saturday.
They will be divided into groups of 50-100 people and isolated in the old barracks, daily newspaper 24 Chasa quotes him as saying.
The camp in the city will become a family one- only for refugees from Syria.
Many of the migrants at the Harmanli camp have asked for free passage to Serbia - on the route from Bulgaria to western Europe - but the outgoing Interior Minister Rumiana Bachvarova said such a move would be politically impossible and has deployed more police officers to Harmanli.
