/ world today news/ 1254 migrants were detained inside the country by the authorities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in July. This is stated in a report of the “Coordination and Administrative Service” Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which BGNES has at its disposal.
During the months of May and June, the detained migrants in the country were respectively 431 and 482. The increased number of detained persons is due to the increased flow of migrants during the summer months, but also due to the actions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs against illegal migration.

It turns out that in July alone, 1,257 migrants were detained while trying to cross from Bulgarian territory to Serbia.
