Bulgarian Interior minister on cooperation with Greece

Bulgarian Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov expressed special satisfaction over excellent cooperation between the security services of Greece and Bulgaria in all sectors, as well as over the two countries’ coordinated actions in handling problems related to the more effective guarding of the European Union’s external borders.

Speaking Tuesday in an interview with foreign press representatives accredited to Sofia, Tsvetanov underlined as an example the joint effort of the two countries’ police forces in disrupting baby trade rings. He stressed that the services of the two countries are on the last stretch to break up a baby trade ring and the operation is being carried out by the regional prosecution office of Varna.

Another point of cooperation for which he expressed great satisfaction is the simplification of bureaucratic procedures for Bulgarians, Greeks and foreigners crossing the joint borders.

Travellers passing from the Koulata-Promahonas border checkpoint, where checks are taking place “at a window” following the inauguration of installations at Promahonas a few months ago, reacted positively.
