Bulgaria and the Czech Republic share a common stand on issues of illegal immigration and security, which are a high priority to both countries. This became clear during talks between President Rosen Plevneliev and the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic Bohuslav Sobotka during the official visit of the Bulgarian Head of State in Prague. The Czech Republic has expressed support in closing the so called Balkan Migration Route, noting the difficulties Bulgaria encounters when protecting the external borders of the European Union against the background of intensified migration pressure.

"We must be honest and clearly draw a distinction between those migrants who escape to save their lives and those who seek economic prospects. We cannot guarantee that every migrant will get the job and the salary they wish to have.” This is what President Rosen Plevneliev said in Prague at a joint news conference with the President of the Czech Republic Milos Zeman. In the Czech Republic, where he is on a two-day official visit, the Head of State recalled that Bulgaria was one of the first EU nations to clearly point to a growing migratory pressure on the external EU borders, and said that the country strictly observes the Dublin and Schengen rules.

Within the forthcoming presidential campaign each of the candidates will have to clearly state where he or she stands and pledge to facilitate the further integration of the country within the European Union and NATO and defend the European values, said the Head of State, who announced the start of the new 2016-2017 academic year at the oldest higher military school in Bulgaria. „We heard many politicians ask the question: what are these Euro-Atlantic values. I am saying it load and clear – they are peace, democracy, rule of law. Is there anyone who can openly say that the Euro-Atlantic values are different from our national ideal“, asked President Rosen Plevneliev.
