Prime Minister Boyko Borissov convenes the Security Council in view of the sharpening of the situation in Syria. The meeting in the Council of Ministers will discuss the situation in Northern Syria and related regional and international security processes.
Defense Minister Krasimir Karakachanov announced yesterday that there is currently no movement of illegal migrants to the Bulgarian border, both from Turkey and from Greek territory.
