"We strongly believe that Bulgaria's rightful place is in the Schengen area," caretaker Prime Minister Galab Donev said ahead of the Council of Ministers meeting on Wednesday.
"You remember how the mandate of the caretaker government began - with information on issues in relation to the control on the import of animals and goods to the European Union through the Kapitan Andreevo border checkpoint. At the end of our mandate, we will take a decision to declare parts of the Kapitan Andreevo border control checkpoint a national security site," Donev said.
In his words, the purpose of such decision is for the state to bring back security and quality control of goods entering the EU.
"We will not allow the Bulgarian border, which is an external EU border, to be used for domestic political purposes", Donev stated.
The Prime Minister also recalled that October 12 marks the 153rd anniversary of the founding of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. It was founded in 1869 in Braila [Romania] as the Bulgarian Literary Society and was renamed as the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences in 1911. Donev called on all to appreciate and follow the ideas of people of knowledge and congratulated Bulgarian scientists on the occasion.
