Between January 1 and February 2, 2017, a total of 230 illegally residing citizens of foreign countries were taken out of the country. In the same period of time, a total of 179 illegal migrants were reported to have entered the country.
The main migration pressure in the last few months continues to be along the Bulgarian – Serbian border where 498 migrants were detained while trying to leave Bulgaria since the beginning of 2017.
In the same period of time, a mere 64 migrants were detained along the Bulgarian – Turkish border.
The migrants detained were mainly from Afghanistan and Pakistan.
