March 24 (BTA) -  The Council of Ministers Wednesday
adopted a National Migration Strategy of the Republic of
Bulgaria for the 2021-2025 period, the Government Information
Service said. The document provides a policy framework for
setting up a comprehensive and stable regulatory and
institutional basis for successfully managing regular migration
and integration, for providing asylum seekers and international
protection beneficiaries in Bulgaria with the requisite care,
and for preventing and suppressing irregular migration.

The strategic goals outlined by the Strategy include better
management and implementation of migration and asylum policies,
providing sustained legitimate options for regular migration in
line with the EU's legal framework and with a view to attracting
 highly qualified third-country nationals to the EU, fair and
effective asylum granting rules, and providing support for
effective integration policies.
 
In addition to these key components, the document proposes a
framework for the development of visa policies, curbing
irregular migration and trafficking in human beings, providing
care of unaccompanied minors, and handling migration in case of
sudden migratory pressure and in an emergency. RI/DS
