National Council on Migration, Borders, Asylum and Integration is established

Bulgaria’s Government on September 4 adopted a decree establishing a National Council on Migration, Borders, Asylum and Integration to replace the National Council on Migration and Integration.

The new body ensures the necessary continuity in the tasks related to formulating and coordinating the implementation of state policies in the area of migration, asylum and integration of third-country nationals.

With the establishment of the National Council on Migration, Borders, Asylum and Integration, Bulgaria fulfills the requirement to establish national mechanism for integrated border management, set out in the European legislation.
