Today Sega Daily differs from the rest of the daily newspapers in Bulgaria with the exclusive news that the Interior Ministry would put cameras on the border with Serbia. The cost of the video surveillance system would be about 3 million euros and would be covered by the European Commission.
The newspaper reads that the border with Serbia is easy to cross and each week hundreds of attempts of illegal crossing on the way to Western Europe are registered. For the first three months of the year, 1317 people were arrested there and several times Serbia accused Bulgaria of letting migrants pass. The newspaper, however, points out that cameras themselves were not a guarantee of stopping trafficking. Sega Daily recalls of the fact that some time ago, with great hopes, video surveillance system was built on the Turkish border, but soon it turned out that another few million euros were needed to restore its operation. Among other things, it turned out that there were no motion detectors, which made crossing of the border very easy and this made the Ministry of Interior announce orders for buying new equipment. Now, in the Bregovo border management, which is responsible for a total of 92 km of the border with Serbia, stationary thermal imaging stations will be located, capable of recognizing a human figure at a minimum distance of 12 km and operating in a continuous 24-hour mode. In the border area near Kalotina cameras were installed in the period 2002-2008, but they are not working and therefore repairs will be made to restore the operational capacity of the automated system.
The CCTV system on the border with Serbia would also send signals to the headquarters of the border police in Sofia, Sega writes. The news of the newspaper has been quoted today, not just by various sites, but also by an information agency.
