Changes to the Law on Asylum and Refugees provides for restricting the movement of refugees to a certain area. Currently the movement of refugees is restricted to the territory of the country, head of the State Agency for Refugees, Petya Parvanova, said during a conference on the topic of "The refugee crisis - national risks, regional dimensions and measures for its management." Last year, refugees from Syria did not cause such problems the way it currently happens with now asylum seekers from other countries, Parvanova added. In confirmation of her words reports that in the morning border police from Dragoman have detained 18 foreigners in an attempt to illegally cross the Bulgarian-Serbian border. Three of them had no identity documents, while the others were from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq and were registered in the State Agency for Refugees.
