Another 30 gendarmerie officers will leave for Harmanli, announced outgoing Interior Minister Rumyana Bachvarova. She informed Parliament about the situation in the refugee centre where there were riots on Thursday.

According to Bachvarova, the situation is under control. “The ways in which the persons who provoked the tension will be placed have been determined – in other centres of the closed-type. Special measures were discussed and taken in order to repair the fence of the Harmanli Centre.”
