Former Bulgarian Prime Minister and former leader of the Democrats for a Strong Bulgaria (DSB) party Ivan Kostov believes the rich Arab countries should accept refugees and not build mosques in Europe, Ukrinform reported.

“The rich Arab countries should accept part of the refugees. And not only are they not assuming this responsibility but are offering Europe money for the construction of mosques,” Mr Kostov stated.

According to him, Bulgarians show understanding towards foreign people’s misfortunes yet the country’s national security is concerned at present and the matter of refugees should be considered from this viewpoint.
