This was reported on the website of the Ministry of Defense of Bulgaria.

According to the Minister, such measures will be aimed at preventing illegal migrants from entering the country.

“I declare with firm determination that the army will render full assistance and take all necessary measures to protect the state border, and will not allow any illegal migrants to enter Bulgaria,” said Karakachanov.

According to him, for this the Bulgarian army is ready to use "up to 1 thousand people and up to 140 pieces of equipment."
