In the neighboring country, the upgrade and repair of the “perforated” fence is in progress, so that it becomes inaccessible
Thermal imaging devices and sensors will be installed along the entire fence on Bulgaria’s border with Turkey, Interior Ministry Secretary General Petar Todorov said.
The upgrade and repair of the fence is underway, with public procurement and deliveries already underway. This work will add to the imaging devices and sensors already in place to fully complete coverage of the remaining 110 km of facilities.
The fence is also very easily breached and migrants break through it within minutes, said Todorf. Effective border protection requires a set of measures, which will combine both the on-site presence of border guards and a choice of equipment, he clarified.
Projects have been launched to cover the sections of the border that were previously lacking in technical equipment. These are the sections where the terrain is more difficult and the procedures are at a very advanced stage, Todorov said.
Working under huge migratory pressure, the Border Police Directorate operating along the Bulgarian-Turkish border prevented 164,000 attempts to illegally enter Bulgaria from Turkey in 2022, the head of the General Border Police Directorate, Rositsa Dimitrova, said during a border inspection with Turkey.
