site.btaPrime Minister: Border Situation Is Calm

August 28 (BTA) - During
an inspection tour of Bulgaria's southeastern border on
Saturday, caretaker Prime Minister Stefan Yanev said the
situation at the border is calm for the time being. He said
necessary steps have been taken to tackle a possible influx of
refugees from Afghanistan.

Yanev inspected border facilities at Malko Tarnovo.

"Pressure on the border is expected to rise, but we have made
preparations and we are ready to use more military forces if
necessary," he noted. "It is not necessary for now. Bulgarian
citizens can rest assured that the border is well-protected."
According to the Prime Minister, the border fence is in good
condition.

There is no need at present to build more refugee camps, Yanev
said. RY/VE
