«The low level of the river facilitates the work of traffickers who use more boats, in which many small groups of migrants are stacked. As soon as the weather cleared, we were on full alert. There are no more specific passages, but they use the entire boundary of the river Evros, and for this reason none of us is left over. A very difficult summer awaits usSaid to ThessToday the president of the border guards of the prefecture of Evros, Chrysovalantis Gialamas.
