I voice my deep regret about the absurd incident that caused the death of a migrant who illegally crossed the border between Bulgaria and Turkey. The tragic incident, which is indicative of the ongoing severe migration crisis in Europe, gives me yet another reason to call on for taking unified and prompt pan-European measures to root out the crisis caused by the migration pressure on Europe.
I am fully aware of the high level of professionalism of the law-enforcement officers, who guard the Bulgarian and European border day and night and are under considerable pressure while performing their professional duties. I praise the prompt reaction of the guardians of public order and peace, and also the launch of an independent expert’s analysis to objectively assess the actions carried out. I expect that the institutions competent in investigating the case will perform their duties as soon as possible and will inform the public about the results.
