“There is nothing dramatic – there is enhanced migration flow, there are risks for realisation of such a wave of immigrants,” said Bulgarian Prime Minister Plamen Oresharski, speaking at parliament during the brief parliamentary control sitting held on the first day of the work of the Bulgarian National Assembly after the summer recess.
PM’s statement came in response to a question asked by the oppositional Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria (CEDB).
“In case of unfavourable development of the situation in Syria, Bulgaria should follow the reactions of our European-Atlantic partners and cooperate for the working out of the common positions,” Oresharski remarked.
“Our attention should be focused mostly on the Syrian citizens, who are victims of the conflict. We keep in touch with the European Commission (EC) and the key European partners. We have a set of solutions. They are aimed at the preparation of all institutions in Bulgaria in connection with our expectations for a possible wave of refugees. At this stage the inflow of emigrants can hardly be described as a “wave”. We hope that the political dialogue and the diplomatic meetings will set the outcome of the crisis and avoid further escalation,” the prime minister remarked.
Oresharski added that the institutions were actively getting ready to meet the refugees.
