Chief Security Advisor to the Prime Minister György Bakondi told public television channel M1 that Bulgaria represents a similar position as Hungary concerning border protection systems and migration policy: illegal mass migration must be stopped.
Mr. Bakondi added that the two countries also share the view according to which before potentially allowing controlled migration to take place, the situation of migrants already in Europe must be solved.
Referring to the fact that more and more European countries want to return migrants, the Chief Security Advisor said that a “more human solution” could have been found before making these people walk across the European continent along the Western Balkan route.
