The number of migrants who sought protection in Bulgaria between July and September bubbled to nearly half of all applicants, Eurostat data shows.
With 3145 arrivals applying for international protection with Bulgarian authorities, Afghan migrants considerably outnumbered Iraqis (1365), Syrians (760) and Iranians (220), with only 60 applicants from other nationalities over this year's third quarter, according to the EU statistics body.
