Recent articles about immigrants and refugees in Bulgaria

Recent articles about immigrants and refugees in Bulgaria (and Greece...) by the bulgarian journalist Juliana Koleva (in English).


The "Balkan Fellowship for Journalistic Excellence" website states that "Juliana will research access to justice for asylum seekers, refugees and immigrants in Bulgaria - the challenge to become legal and the impact of asylum status rejections and detentions.

Juliana will also consider the legal and political perspectives on immigration and asylum, as the country is on the point of joining the EU passport-free Schengen travel zone. She will ask if Bulgaria is failing to meet its obligations with regard to vulnerable immigrants and asylum seekers."
