The Bulgarian government is reportedly ready to dig trenches and raise fences on its borders with Greece and Turkey in order to block Mideast refugees and would-be migrants from illegally entering its territory, the German mass daily Bild reported on Wednesday.
The paper cites a report by the GASIM center which claims that “due to the measures imposed in the Aegean, people smugglers are now focusing more and more on the route from Turkey to Bulgaria and then on to western Europe… Smuggling networks there have been active for years now,” the report states.
